Game notes: Get your caffeine ready: The Detroit Tigers close out their first series of their West Coast trip Thursday night at 9:40 p.m., marking the third of four late-night starts on this six game trip.
The Tigers find themselves in familiar territory again for Thursday without a starting pitcher named and another bullpen-only game scheduled. The Tigers only have two full-time rotation members right now — Tarik Skubal and Keider Montero — and both pitchers already made starts this series, likely leaving the next three games up to the bullpen.
Up to this point, the Tigers have used Tyler Holton, Alex Faedo and Beau Brieske as the “opener” for games this year, with the trio making a combined 10 starts in 2024. Lately, Holton has been the favored opener for A.J. Hinch and the Tigers staff, and that should come as little surprise.
The lefty has been on a tear lately and has been used in a variety of roles, from starter to closer. On Tuesday night, he came in to close the door in the series opener against the Mariners and struck out Mitch Garver in the ninth inning to extend his streak to 22 innings without giving up a run.
After finishing up their game Thursday night, the Tigers will travel down the coast to start a three-game set with the San Francisco Giants. The bad news for fans is the first game starts even later with a 10:15 p.m. scheduled first pitch, but after that, the two teams finish things off with two afternoon games.

About the Army helicopters over north West Seattle
Thanks for the tips and texted photo. The helicopters that were flying over northwest West Seattle are US Army helicopters, flying out of, and returning to, Joint Base Lewis-McChord in the South Sound. They’re often seen up here on training flights. Some wondered if it might be World Cup flyover practice, with the match two days away. Since their flight path included SODO, that could be; we’re checking.
