Woo's July Struggles
The 26-year-old right-hander has endured a difficult stretch over the past month. Across four starts in July spanning 21 innings, Woo compiled a 6.43 ERA while allowing 29 hits and four home runs alongside seven walks. He struck out 25 batters but absorbed two losses during the span. His underlying metrics painted a slightly more encouraging picture, with a 4.19 FIP suggesting some bad fortune contributed to his poor results.
Woo's most recent encounter with Detroit proved particularly rough. On a June outing, he surrendered five runs on nine hits across 6⅓ innings in a 7-3 loss at Detroit. The Mariners hold a 7-8 record with Woo on the mound this season, indicating offensive support has not consistently materialized around his starts.
Tigers' Offensive Momentum
Detroit counters with right-hander Drew Anderson, who arrives in his role as a spot starter with a 4.24 ERA across 22 appearances. Anderson has made three starts this season, with mixed results. His most recent starting assignment came against Houston on June 15, where he lasted 2⅔ innings in a no-decision during the Tigers' 9-3 victory. The 32-year-old's other start came May 20 against Cleveland, yielding four-plus innings of shutout ball in an eventual loss.
The Tigers' offensive surge represents the primary concern for Seattle's pitching staff. Troy Melton's seven shutout innings highlighted Tuesday's domination, while the Tigers' three home runs powered the rout. The franchise's ability to consistently produce eight-run performances has elevated Detroit into serious contention in their division race.
