Game 88: Record 48-40

Zoom, zoom, there goes another win.

Joel Zumaya let another one get away Friday night after Luke French pitched really well again. French only gave up 1 earned run in 5 strong innings and then Fu-Te Ni pitched 1 scoreless inning, so the Tigers led 3-2 heading into the 7th when Zumaya took over.

Joel promptly allowed a single, then a double and finally a 3 run HR to Mark Teixeira. He rightly took the loss. Very frustrating for all Tigers fans. With Justin and Edwin pitching the next two in New York, it would have been outstanding to win that game with the youngster starting. But, the bullpen blew another one. They gotta get these next two.
