Game 73: Record 41-32

Cannot count the number of missed opportunities.

Tigers absolutely let one get away against the Astros. This is a game they should have won and won easily. Justin pitched well again, although didn't make it deep enough into the game.

Joel gave up 2 runs in the 8th when he suddenly could not throw a strike and that was the difference, blew the save, blew the game and took the loss. Not good.

The Tigers had plenty of opportunities to add runs when they led, but continually let the opportunities slip away. They left 11 men on base, but that doesn't really tell the whole story. Lots of chances with men on base and less than 2 outs.

Curious move of pinch hitting Raburn for Santiago in the 9th. Leyland went to the same well that worked last time, but Ryan grounded out meekly to end the game this time around.

Two more againt Houston.
