Game 40: Record 24-16

7's are wild

Seven wins in a row now. Rick Porcello wins his 4th straight, 4-3 over the Rockies. Ramon and Brandon are the offensive hero's of the night. Outstanding pitching on both sides, except for the 9th, when Joel Zumaya nearly blew his first save opportunity of 2009. But, he got the last out with men on 1st and 3rd after giving up 2 runs. I was sweating bullets, but Zoom got the job done in the end.

Porcello's line: 6 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 SO. Then Ryan Perry came in and pitched two nearly perfect innings, giving up only 1 walk and zero hits. Very impressive job by the two youngsters. This should make all Tigers fans excited about 2009 and beyond.
