Tigers playoff stretch run venting!

I'm a little late with this but it was good to see Zumaya back on the mound Sunday. One thing has me puzzled though. If Zumaya isn't well enough to pitch for a week why does Leyland run him out there for 2 innings in his 1st game back!?!? Just doesn't make sense to me.

I think Leyland loves the thought of reducing games to 6 inning contests by using Z for the 7 & 8th innings every other game. He needs to see if he can do it before the playoffs.
