Porcello keeps his rookie label just a label.
RP was good again the other day as he and the Tigers beat Rich Harden and the Cubbies in the first of 3.
After completing the sweep on Thursday afternoon, the Tigers find themselves 10 games over .500! This is the high water mark so far in 2009 and the best they have been since 2007. Great job with two straight sweeps and 7 wins in a row.
Jackson had another strong outing, but did not get a win (what else is new?) when the pen could not hold the small lead. Thats OK, yet again, because they won the game.
Miguel, Curtis, Ramon and Magglio went deep in these two games. Was great to see Magglio hit one out, but really good to see him pull the ball hard down into the left field seats. This is a good sign because it means he was picking the ball up early and hit it where he wanted to. I like it when he is slapping the ball to right, but his greatest strength as a hitter is that he can hit the ball to right for a single and also pull the ball down the left field line for a HR. He needs to be able to do both.
Three in Houston starting Friday night, then it is back to AL games.
