7-13-08 Detroit vs Minnesota

Another strong outing from Justin Verlander and the Detroit Tigers win 4-2 in a much needed game against the Minnesota Twins. The young guys came through again for the Tigers. Matt Joyce and Clete Thomas both had homers to help lead the ball club to victory. Joel Zumaya pitched a scoreless eighth and Todd Jones the ninth for his 17th save. Going into the all star game the Tigers regained some of the momentum they had earlier in the month. 7 games behind the Chicago White Sox, the Detroit Tigers have some work to do in the second half of the season. There is a lot of baseball to be played and I believe the Tigers ball club has a good chance of tracking down the Sox. If the Tigers continue to get solid pitching and timely hitting it is very possible.
Go Tigers!
