Jimenez pitched a scoreless inning in Wednesday's loss to the Athletics, allowing one hit and striking out two.
After giving up three earned runs in his most recent outing Monday, this was a nice bounce-back effort for Jimenez, who threw a season-high 37 pitches (29 for strikes). The 23-year-old now has a solid 2.58 ERA this season, and he could be next in line for saves if the Tigers decide to trade veteran closer Shane Greene at some point.
