Sammons (0-1) allowed three runs on four hits across 4.1 innings of relief to take the loss Tuesday against the Cubs. He walked three and struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Sammons followed opener Alex Faedo, though the former was less effective compared to his last time out, when he allowed just one run across 5.2 innings. The lefty still has a solid 3.91 ERA overall across 23 innings this season, and the Tigers seem to like Sammons in a bulk role, so he could pick up some wins out of the bullpen down the stretch if he pitches well.
