Game 74: Record 41-33

We have a problem in Houston.

Alfredo Figaro pitched his second big league game and it did not go well. He gave up 10 hits and 8 runs in 6 complete innings of work. The Tigers got clobbered 8-1. They now have lost 2 straight to the Astros after coming into the series with a 7 game winnings streak.

On the bright side, Freddy Dolsi pitched in his first game with the Tigers in 2009 and went 2 complete innings. He gave up 3 hits, but zero runs. Hopefully he can use this as a springboard to give Leyland a good right-handed option of the pen.

Also, Ramon hit another HR. Makes you wonder again about the decision the skipper made to pinch hit for him in the ninth. I'm just saying....

They have to salvage one game Sunday with Edwin on the mound. Last interleague game of the year and they can finish with a winning record, then it is on to Oakland.
