aren’t bad? He had a 4.52 ERA in 16 starts heading into the London matchup - a true outlier, given how many runs were scored in those two games - but without the usual sparkling advanced numbers that made him such a divisive figure in Detroit. So, take away that bad start, and Porcello’s numbers. He recorded just one out before he was pulled from the game, and his ERA increased by over half a run. Porcello faced seven batters in his last start, a wild 17-13 affair in London against the Yankees, and six of them scored. Take away one bad start, and Porcello’s numbers are pretty darn good.

but it was the one that sticks in the mind of many Tigers fans when they think back on the 30-year-old’s tenure in Detroit. Remember that time that Rick Porcello didn’t make it out of the first inning against the Los Angeles Angels? It wasn’t the only time Porcello got rocked while in a Tigers uniform - he coughed up eight runs in a single inning against the Texas Rangers a year before that infamous outing in L.A.
