Dontrelle version 2009 meet Dontrelle version 2008
This is the worst case scenario for Tigers fans regarding Dontrelle Willis. D-train did not give up a hit in the game, but still only lasted 2.1 innings. In the 3rd inning he hit a batter and then walked 4 straight guys. His line looked like something from last year.
2.1 IP, 0 H, 5 ER, 5 BB, 3 SO.
In previous games this year when he would walk a guy he could come back and throw strikes, in this game he seemed to have lost something with his control and could not get it back.
They still had plenty of opportunities to win the game on offense because the bullpen did not allow a run after the horrible 6 run 3rd inning. But, they did not break through. This series did not set up well for the Tigers because neither Justin nor Edwin were pitching. After Porcello lost the opener, I was fearing a sweep and that is what happened.
The Angels come to town for 3 over the weekend and we have Justin, Edwin and Rick pitching. The Angels always seem to play well against the Tigers, but I like our chances with those three pitching. Then after that, they play five in four days against the White Sox. Not sure how the rotation will work for that Chicago series. Seems like they need an extra starter. Not sure if they'll bring up somebody or give Nate/Zach a start. We'll see.
