Tigers starter Buck Farmer was not sharp in his outing against the Blue Jays on Saturday. The young right-hander allowed six runs (five earned) on eight hits over four innings, as the Tigers got pounced in the 15-1 rout.
Farmer (0-3, 8.21 ERA) was hit hard and often in this one, as he got things started off by serving up a three-run home run to Edwin Encarnacion in the first inning. The Jays kept on adding to their lead, and the Tigers' offense was unable to solve Drew Hutchison in the afternoon.
Saturday was Farmer's fifth start of the season, and he has allowed at least three earned runs in each of those outings.
