Detroit Tigers: Can Francisco Rodriguez still be an effective closer at age 35? K-Rod's fastball is clocking in at 88.5 mph, the lowest of his career,
and the 5 mph spread between his heater and his changeup is too close for comfort. He also has had difficulty commanding the fastball, and his first-pitch strike percentage of 53.3 is down markedly from the past several years.
When he's behind in the count, it's a lot easier for hitters to lay off the change.

Justin Wilson has been fine since replacing Rodriguez as Detroit's closer, and Alex Wilson and Shane Greene have pitched well as the prime setup men.
But Rodriguez and Anibal Sanchez have been so ineffective that manager
Brad Ausmus is afraid to use them in high-leverage situations.
If Ausmus isn't careful, he could burn out his three best relievers by the All-Star break.

May 23 in Tigers and mlb history:

1911: Detroit beats Washington's Walter Johnson 9 - 8. Detroit loads the bases in the 8th inning for Ty Cobb? already 3 for 4 with 3 stolen bases? and Johnson? in relief of Dolly Gray? walks him to force in what will be the winning run.

1953: The Detroit Tigers selected Earl Harrist off waivers from the Chicago White Sox.

1961: Norm Cash? Steve Boros? and Dick Brown hit consecutive homers for the Tigers in a 5 - 2 win over Minnesota.

1969: Mickey Lolich sets a Detroit record with 16 strikeouts while defeating Andy Messersmith and the Angels, 6 - 3. Mickey Stanley's grand slam is the difference.
Lolich's mark breaks the record of 15 set by Paul Foytack in 1956.
Lolich's record was broken the 2013 season by Anibal Sanchez with 17 Strikeouts.

1971: With 53?337 on hand, Mickey Lolich and Les Cain? with 3 innings from Joe Niekro? notch shutouts as the Tigers sweep a doubleheader from the Senators, 5 - 0 and 11 - 0. The loser in the opener is Denny McLain? making his first appearance in Detroit since being traded. Al Kaline and Norm Cash each hit two-run homers off Denny? with Cash adding another pair? one with the sacks full? in the nitecap.

1980: Five hours after the midnight deadline, Major League players and owners avert a strike by announcing a new four-year basic agreement.
The new deal raises the minimum salary from $21,000 to $30,000 and increases the clubs' contributions to the players' pension fund, but the major issue of free agent compensation remains unresolved.

1981: The Detroit Tigers signed Paul Gibson as a free agent.

1984: At Anaheim? 41?205 watch as Dan Petry and the Tigers clip the Angels? 4 - 2? to run Detroit's record to 34-5. Detroit has now won 16 straight on the road to tie the American League record of the 1912 Senators. The win goes to Petry. The losing pitcher is reliever Frank LaCorte? who takes his last major league loss when he gives up a two-run homer in the 7th to Lance Parrish.

1989: The Detroit Tigers signed Brad Havens as a free agent.

2002: The Detroit Tigers released Bill Simas.

2016: The Detroit Tigers released Nate Schierholtz.
