Learn more about him on, The Baseball PageA hero in Detroit when he won both games of a doubleheader against Boston to clinch the 1907 pennant, Killian was the hardest pitcher to homer against in ML history. Pitching in the dead-ball era, he allowed only nine HR in his career - one every 178 innings - and once went almost four full seasons (1,001 innings) without surrendering one. Acquired by Detroit after one season in Cleveland, Killian won 23 games in his second year as a Tiger, and in 1907 wents 25-13 with a 1.78 ERA and .320 batting average.

Overcast at Comerica.

(March 3, 2025) Blue Jays crushed the Tigers 13-3 in Lakeland. Last year's AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal pitched 3 1-hit innings, but after that Detroit couldn't contain the Jays onslaught. Berrios started for the Jays, followed by Yarbrough. Lotta talent on both these teams, but watch the Jays - they could be back in the mix following a down year.
