Not the kind of pitching performance I (or the Tigers) was expecting from Justin Verlander (4 innings, 9 hits, 7 runs, 110 pitches, 2 home runs). The bullpen came through with 5 scoreless innings. The Tigers almost came back but could not get the one big hit they needed. Granderson, Ordonez, and Renteria all had mutiple hits. Ordonez and Sheffield hit homers. 7 1/2 games behind the White Sox and we need a win today. Getting swept by the Sox is not on the best interest of the Detroit Tigers in their quest to win the Central Division. Zack Miner takes the mound today in a must win game. Major League Baseball is a funny game, just when a team thinks their turning it around they get smacked in the head by a baseball bat and brought back down to earth. Today's game will show a lot about the character of the Detroit Tigers baseball club, I hope it shows we have some fight left in us!
