Detroit Tigers’ starting pitcher Doug Fister continued his postseason dominance. Fister gave up 1- earned run over six innings, while striking out 3. He has given up a total of three runs over 19.1 innings. However, he has yet to factor into a winning decision.

After a few warmup pitches, he checked out o.k., and continued with the game.
In the 7th inning, Hunter Pence singled off of Doug Fister into leftfield. Tigers’ manager Jim Leyland w...

For a while, there was every reason to believe the Giants would look forward to having Madison Bumgarner start in the playoffs. Bumgarner was a very good starting pitcher, and teams like to have very good starting pitchers start for them come playoff time. Then Bumgarner started to wear down, or — if you don’t like that explanation — Bumgarner just started pitching a lot worse...
