DETROIT -- Brice Turang looked out at Reese Olson before stepping into the batter’s box Friday night at Comerica Park. It was a different look at a familiar foe for Turang, who played behind Olson as a shortstop on the 2019 Wisconsin Timber Rattlers in Milwaukee’s farm system.

The point of view was different, but the changeup that Turang swung over for strike three had to look familiar. It has been Olson’s dominant pitch for his entire pro career, and the pitch that drew Detroit to the High-A prospect as their return for Daniel Norris at the 2021 Trade Deadline.

“We hated losing him,” Brewers manager Pat Murphy said. “That was an agonizing trade. Everybody was so high on the kid, and he’s got a great future.”

Few might have imagined at the time that Olson would become one of the hottest starters in the American League. Then again, few who have watched Olson this season might have imagined the damage the Brewers would inflict on their former prospect Friday in a 10-0 defeat.

Turang’s leadoff strikeout was one of three Olson posted in a hitless opening inning. He also used his changeup to fan Jake Bauers and retire the side in order in the third inning. In between, the Brewers blitzed Olson for six hits in a five-run second inning. After the third, Milwaukee ended Olson’s night with six more hits in a three-run fourth.

Turang got his former Midwest League teammate in both frames, singling and scoring on a double steal in the second inning, before doubling and scoring in the fourth. But by the time Olson’s outing was over, everyone in the Brewers lineup but Willy Adames and Bauers had hit safely against him.

Olson gave up eight runs in a game for the first time in his pro career. He became the first Tiger to give up 12 hits since the Red Sox roughed up Jordan Zimmermann for 13 hits over 3 1/3 innings on July 6, 2019.

Olson was firmly on the AL leaderboard with a 1.92 ERA just over a week ago. Two starts, 9 1/3 innings, 18 hits and 13 runs later, his ERA stands at 3.43. Now the Tigers have to figure out what to make out of two subpar outings.

“I'll take a look a little further later,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said, “but from my angle it didn't look like he was that bad [Friday]. I know he fell behind hitters, which is not ideal. They took whatever the game gave them, moved the ball around a little bit. Their at-bats were really impressive against him on all pitches, so we'll take a look at it, but it certainly didn't feel like he was ever lost or he was ever not in a good place other than the action that was going on and the damage he was giving up.”

Last Saturday’s outing in Boston, where Olson gave up five runs over 5 1/3 innings, was quirky in its own right. Enmanuel Valdez was responsible for three runs and three hits that day, two of them homers, including a drive around Fenway Park’s short right-field pole that would not have been a homer anywhere else. But Olson also gave up more hard contact and paid for some mistakes with his slider, which he threw a lot.

The Red Sox averaged 94.5 mph in exit velocity on 17 balls in play off Olson last Saturday. The Brewers’ 17 balls in play off Olson averaged 90.7 mph in exit velocity, but 12 of them went for hits, none of them homers.

Olson threw a near-even rate of four-seam fastballs, sinkers, sliders and changeups, and the Brewers got hits off them all. He still drew 14 swinging strikes -- six off the changeup -- and racked up six strikeouts. He also drew 15 called strikes.

“I think I made some good pitches that were able to find holes,” Olson said, “but as a whole, not real happy with my performance. Combined a little bad luck with some poorly executed pitches.”

Olson said he did not make a big deal of facing his old organization, it was just another game to him. Nor did he think the Brewers’ familiarity worked against him. The Brewers weren’t on his pitches to the point to suspect he might be tipping.

At this point, he’s ready to put his last two outings, like his Brewers time, in the past.
