A few notes: Bruce Rondon is gone to Toledo, having stunk massively in the first five games of the season — he’s responsible, in fact, for six runs on the homestand. Joe Jimenez is up to replace him, much to pretty much everyone’s excitement, I assume.

Hey, remember when we thought we were done with Chris Sale vs. Justin Verlander matchups? For what it’s worth, Sale was 1-2 with a 3.13 ERA against Detroit in 2016.
