Detroit’s pitching crisis just got a hero: Troy Melton. In his second year and first as a full-time starter, the 24-year-old has been electric, posting a 1.75 ERA in 11 starts and going nuclear with a 0.92 ERA in July—winning every game he started. After battling elbow inflammation that sidelined him early, Melton’s comeback has been nothing short of dominant, allowing more than two runs just once. His cutter? Hitters are batting .082 against it. Manager A.J. Hinch calls him a “mainstay,” and with Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize gone and Verlander and Flaherty injured, Melton might just be the anchor this team needs to stay alive in the playoff race.
