Led by Justin Verlander's strong 8.2 innings the Detroit Tigers have moved withing 6 1/2 games of the Chicago White Sox with a 5-1 victory over the Twins. Magglio Ordonez and Marcus Thames led the offensive charge, each hitting home runs. Ryan Rayburn also had a strong game going 2-4 with 2 RBIs. These young guys are really stepping up and playing solid baseball when called upon. If we can get decent pitching from the rest of our staff the Tigers may have a chance to catch the White Sox and win the division. The club must take it one ball game at a time and might possibly turn in one of the great comebacks in major league baseball history. Next up the Kansas City Royals.
