Game 55: Record 30-25

Clete's granny wins it

Not his grandmother, but rather his Grand Slam in the bottom of the 8th inning that turned a 5-5 tied into a 9-5 lead and eventually a 9-6 win. Tigers trailed 5-4 entering the bottom of the 8th but they scored 5 and got the win as well as the series win.

Rick Porcello pitched well enough to win, but Ryan Perry allowed one of Rick's runners to score and tie the game. Joel pitched nicely and got the win to show for it.

I love it when I do not have to discuss defense! Another solid performance, including Ryan Raburn playing 1B after Miguel had to come out of the game because of that troublesome hammy. Very nice win.

They now play 5 in 4 days against the White Sox. Day-night double header tomorrow and we get to see Jeremy Bonderman pitch for the first time. Armando and Jeremy pitch the double header tomorrow. They basically have 6 starters now. Seems like Jeremy, Armando or Dontrelle will not be able to stay in the rotation and these 5 games in Chicago will determine who stays and who doesn't.
