Figaro, Figaro, Fi-Ga-Ro!!!!
Alfredo Figaro was impressive in his first ever start. He threw 96 pitches in 5 complete innings and got a win to show for it. His line:
5.0 IP, 8 H, 2 ER, 7 SO, 2 BB
Nice job, young man! He labored a couple of the innings and I was worried that he wouldn't be able to complete 5 and even have a chance for the win, but he got a couple of quick innings and did the job. The pen was OK. Fernando pitched a clean 9th inning with no walks and 1 strike out - boy was that nice to see.
Miguel had a single, double and a long HR. I think somebody would have to fall down in the outfield for him to ever get a triple, though. Marcus also had 3 hits. Lots of offensive hero's when you score 9 times and have 17 hits. Loved seeing Placido hit one out also. That just doesn't happen very often.
It was a fun game to attend because there were lots of hits and lots of runs. There were people in the rows above and below us that left when the 9th inning began. The fat guy in the row in front of us muttered that he'd seen enough of Rodney. I do not understand how you can make the effort to drive to downtown Detroit, park your car, pay for your tickets and then leave with 3 outs left to go. It just does not make sense to me.
