Tyler Holton, the Detroit Tigers' left-handed reliever, showed a remarkable resurgence in his performance against the Cleveland Guardians, throwing 2⅓ scoreless innings on July 4th. Following a challenging June, Holton's fastball velocity increased to 94 mph, which is significant for a pitcher known for his command rather than overpowering speed. His ability to pitch effectively in high-pressure situations, especially against division rivals, highlights his value to the Tigers' overworked bullpen.

Manager A.J. Hinch acknowledged Holton's versatility, indicating he can be used in various roles, from closing to starting. Holton's recent performances, where he has not allowed a run in five consecutive outings, underscore his potential to be a reliable asset for the Tigers moving forward.
