McHugh is clearly at the bottom of the pecking order - he was on full rest as the previous tandem guy with Morton in the game 3 loss. As well as...
From the post-game, it sounded like Keuchel was next in line behind McCullers to bridge to Giles -- which was assuredly the right call for a game...
Lance has said a couple of times that he feels like the curveball is actually less stress on his arm than the fastball. Don’t know if that is true...
Verlander is the honey badger.

This is likely the most high leverage moment of the game... not a bad time to use Giles.
Yep. Elite teams somehow win games on off nights.
