Game 134: Record 73-61

JV outstanding again, Rodney...not so much.

A win is a win, especially when it takes you to 13 games over .500 and 6 games ahead in the AL Central. Justin was simply fantastic in getting his 16th win. His line:

8.0 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 7 SO, 1 BB

Offensive heros were the usual suspects - Miguel, Curtis, Placido...and on unusual suspect - Adam Everett! AE got a huge hit in the 9th to give the Tigers a 2-1 lead. How about that fantastic sequence of moves and plays that scored the 2nd run of the inning. Leyland pinch runs Wilkin Ramirez for Marcus, then Curtis pulls a hit to RF, Gross makes a fantastic throw to home, but Ramirez scores with an outstanding slide and tag of the dish between the catchers legs. Really fun play and huge run. After that, Placido made it 4-1 with a sac fly.

Fernando nearly blew it in the bottom of the inning, but somehow managed to wiggle out of the jam.

Armando makes his return to the rotation tomorrow against Shields. Will be interesting to see what AG can do for us down the stretch.
