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