Games 85-87: Record 48-39

Tigers take 2 of 3 against the Indians and head into the break in first place by 3.5 games!

All-stars Edwin and Justin beat Cleveland while Aramando's good performance is not good enough. EJ pitched outstanding on Friday as he got his 7th win, then AG pitched 6 strong innings but got the loss on Saturday. The series ended with a dominating performance by JV, who pitched 7 complete innings of shutout ball. He is clearly the ace of this staff and clearly a deserving 2009 American League All Star.

The lines:

EJ on Friday 7/10: 7.0 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 SO
AG on Saturday 7/11: 6.0 IP, 9 H, 4 ER, 2 BB, 3 SO
JV on Sunday 7/12: 7.0 IP, 5 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 8 SO

Really good pitching all the way around. They are set up for a good second half and a strong run at the AL Central crown.

They now get 4 days off. They start the 2nd half in New York against the evil empire. Time to relax, enjoy watching the All Star game.
