The Tigers face some tough questions with righty Shane Greene, who was an important trade acquisition last winter. The team expects to give him a shot to earn a spot with the club, but it?s not yet clear whether he?ll make the rotation. Greene had surgery on his shoulder, though it was for an ?arterial issue? rather than some structural concern, and is set to be ready for the spring. But it was his rough season before that which leads to concern over his long-term outlook. ?I can tell you right now that [Greene] is a starting pitcher,? said GM Al Avila. ?But we feel that he can also go into the bullpen if we needed him to or because we think it?s the best thing for him and organization.? Something of the opposite is true of Alex Wilson, who Avila says will remain in the pen despite a history of starting in the minors.
 
October 25 in Tigers and mlb history:

2012: Three Giants pitchers - Madison Bumgarner, Santiago Casilla and Sergio Romo - combine on a two-hitter as San Francisco shuts out Detroit, 2 - 0, in Game 2 of the 2012 World Series. The Giants play small ball, scoring their first run on a double play grounder in the 7th after a bunt single by Gregor Blanco loads the bases, and their second in the 8th on three walks and a sacrifice fly.
