Miner & Cabrera to the rescue!
Miguel has had an outstanding start to the 2009 season and so has Brandon Inge. Miguell hit a 3 run bomb in the first inning to stake the Tigers to a 3-0 lead, then hit an absolute monster solo shot to center field in the 5th. He is hitting an incredible .700 in the young season.
Brandon added his 3rd HR of the season in the 6th to end the scoring.
Zach started out with a very shaky first inning where he gave up 1 run and stranded 2 more when the inning ended. But, he worked through it and located his pitches better from the 2nd inning onward.
Miner's final line: 5.2 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 SO. Really, really good job.
I liked having Santiago at SS. He is better defensively than almost anybody, including Adam Everett and can hit better than we all tend to think.
Cannot wait to see Porcello pitch tomorrow night. His fellow fireballing rookie, Ryan Perry made his major league debut tonight and pitched an impressive 1-2-3 8th inning. He threw in the upper 90's the majority of his pitches, but threw a number of off speed pitches also. Very nice to see somebody come out of the pen and just shut the door. Also nice to see Rodney pitch an uneventful ninth inning.
