Detroit Tigers right-hander Reese Olson is equipped with a filthy slider. His best secondary pitch, even better than his revered changeup, has averaged a 3,042 rpm spin rate through the first five games of his MLB career, helping him to 28 strikeouts (with six walks) in 24⅔ innings. Two weapons — his slider and his fastball

DETROIT — Tigers reliever Brendan White was roommates and teammates with Reese Olson at Double-A Erie last year, when Olson was primarily a fastball-changeup starter. His slider was arguably not even his best breaking pitch at the time. You’d have a hard time convincing Twins hitters of that after their first look at Olson on Saturday

Detroit — Rookie pitchers Reese Olson and Brendan White have been roommates for a couple of years, in Double-A, during spring training this year, in Toledo earlier this season. They talked a lot about pitching, as you might guess. Specifically, Olson picked White’s brain about his slider. The slider, White’s money pitch, had always been
Detroit Tigers right-hander Reese Olson handed the baseball to manager A.J. Hinch in the top of the sixth inning and received a standing ovation from a majority of the 24,203 fans as he walked back to the dugout.

Tonight’s game was pretty evenly paced, which isn’t an ideal thing to say when it’s the Tigers facing off against another mid-performing AL Central team, but these two clubs looked pretty evenly matched through the night. As an overview, Reese Olson was surprising, as he managed to cruise through most of the Twins’ lineup and

Eduardo Rodriguez simulated three innings of work on Saturday at Comerica Park. The left-hander, also the ace of the Detroit Tigers, threw 20 pitches in the first inning, 15 pitches in the second inning and 15 pitches in the third inning for a 50-pitch live batting practice session before Saturday’s game. The 30-year-old said he
Detroit — Eduardo Rodriguez was feeling generous. “He hit two ground balls, so I have to give him one of those for a hit,” he said, smiling. “The second baseman was playing too far over on the one.” The banter between Rodriguez and Jonathan Schoop was entertaining Saturday afternoon, but Rodriguez’s 50-pitch, three-inning live bullpen
