Game Notes: Kenta Maeda is coming off his best start of the year, even though manager AJ Hinch and the Tigers medical staff only let him complete four innings against the Washington Nationals.

Maeda has struggled mightily this year and things went from bad to worse when he had to leave a June 5 game against the Texas Rangers while holding his team and appeared to be in pain after just two pitches. It looked like Maeda was headed for a trip to the injured list, but he ended up being fine and didn’t miss a start. Maeda was frustrated when he was pulled from the match, but later said he understood the decision and it was for the best.

Fast forward to Maeda’s last start against the Nationals, and some of those frustrations surfaced again when there was some type of incident between Hinch and Maeda when he was removed from the game after finishing only four rounds.

Maeda had only allowed one hit and one run at that point, but because of the four walks, his pitch count was 77. While the Tigers tried to be cautious, Maeda was removed from the match.

Now, Maeda will try to continue building on what he was doing before the cautious approach took him out of the game against the Nationals as the Tigers try to win their series against the Astros.
