Ty Madden pitched well in a victory over the Athletics on Friday evening, firing three scoreless innings in relief.

Madden struck out two batters in the contest while issuing a pair of walks. He took over after Tyler Holton worked the first two innings in a bullpen game for the Tigers and remained in as the Tigers took the lead in the fourth inning. While he has been great in a swingman role for the Tigers, there’s a chance that he gets moved back to the rotation next week if both Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize are dealt as anticipated.
