Game 65: Record 34-31

Offense still on vacation

The Tigers dropped yet another game to the NL. They only scored 3 runs, two of which came on solo homers from Curtis. Edwin pitched very well, certainly good enough to win but he was pulled for a pinch hitter in the 7th. Joel came in and in 1 inning of work walked 3 and gave up 1 hit. He had the bases loaded and walked in the eventual winning run. Edwin took the loss, but it was Joel that gave up the crucial run.

The offense is becoming a major concern. They just cannot get the bats going. Leyland has tried about every different combination that can be imagined. The players just aren't getting the job done. And when they do hit, then the pitching isn't good enough.

They have to salvage one win in this series with RP pitching. Then they come home to face the Brew crew.
