Eric Silva promoted from Erie to Toledo ahead of Sunday's game
The right-hander moved up from Double-A Erie to Triple-A Toledo and was used out of the bullpen in his first appearance.
Eric Silva was transferred from the Erie SeaWolves (Double-A) to the Toledo Mud Hens (Triple-A) prior to Sunday's game. He entered in the seventh inning and struggled, allowing two runs including a two-run homer to Chas McCormick. Silva finished with three strikeouts, all on his curveball, but the outing was a rough debut at the new level. The move reflects a roster adjustment within the Detroit Tigers organization.
