Madden (1-0) allowed a run on five hits and a walk while striking out seven over five innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Sunday.
Madden entered the game in the second inning after Beau Brieske pitched a scoreless first as the opener. Through three outings (one start), Madden has been sharp, pitching to a 2.57 ERA, though he has a less impressive 1.21 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB over 14 innings in the majors. It appears the Tigers are comfortable sheltering Madden behind an opener even against soft opponents. He's tentatively projected to make his next appearance at home versus the Orioles.
