Tigers pitchers have allowed five total runs over the last five games, with a chance to complete a 6-0 homestand today. On the season, our 3.35 ERA now ranks 4th among AL teams.

Tigers' pitchers have now made six consecutive starts of at least 5.2 innings while allowing no more than one run. It marks the longest stretch for Detroit since April 28 - May 3, 2006.

Kevin McGonigle is currently 13th in the American League in OPS and 8th in Batting Average, 13th in OBP .421
McBarrel has reached base 32X in 18 games to begin his major league career.

Tigers Ben Jacobs just killing low A 11.2 IP 6H 2R 21 SO 6BB.
Easily the best pitcher in the system. Will need to learn to get more economical with his pitches.

Justin Verlander threw a bullpen yesterday. His recovery is "going a little slower than
I think he anticipated or we anticipated," A.J. Hinch said.

Before today's game, Tigers pitchers have posted a 1.88 ERA at Comerica Park so far this year, which is the lowest for any MLB team in their home ballpark.

Tigers infielder Zach McKinstry is "not moving around well" today and "we're going to continue to get him looked at," manager A.J. Hinch said.

 

[kalinecountry]

Tigers out in front 6 - 2 bottom half of the 6th inning.
Dingler with another home run.

 

[biggunsbob]

1st and 3rd no outs . Perez and baez fail to drive anyone in.
Really poor at bats. Gotta keep that ball fair JB.

 

[biggunsbob]

So Anderson comes in and immediately walks a batter..
Not sure how I feel about Anderson.

 

[biggunsbob]

Down by 3 Kansas City sacrifices runners up, and it freaking works because Anderson stinks. 6-4 now.
Now it’s 6-5. Excuse me infield single by Witt Jr.
Maybe Tork should have fielded this ball.

Have we seen enough of Anderson ?

 

[biggunsbob]

Not getting those runs in by Perez and Baez is really hurting now..

Holton in for Anderson.
Line out to Perez

Holton had him 0 -2.. now 3-2 after a damn wild pitch.
Just ****ing walk Perez him with a base open ?

Holton was not fooling Perez at all.

Nope terrible pitch by holton with a damn lefty on freaking
Deck ! I guess he is batting only .171 ? Why are you
Throwing anything close with a base open ?
Lefty coming up.

Tigers pen implodes and wasted Monteros good start.
Trail 8-6.

 

[kalinecountry]

Tigers bullpen shits their pants and go and change their shirts.

Drew Anderson: 6G, 4G he walked the leadoff man. 10IP 7BB 9H = garbage.

 

[tigermud]

This game is really dragging on

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers 8th
Tork k’s
Perez hacks flys out to right .
Baez . F-8. That’s what we needed with runners on 1st and 3rd no outs

 

[tigermud]

Woulda coulda shoulda been a sweep. The game turned after the damn ump held up the game for 10 min to use the shitter?

 

[biggunsbob]

Man this pen has a lot of crap in it.

Seabold
DeJusus.
Anderson
Holton (and hr balls) (15) last year.

Im sure im missing some.

 

[biggunsbob]

Crap now we need a 3 run homer now.

 

[gotime909]

Blow pen

 

[gotime909]

Hopefully we can bail the shitpen out with a walk off

 

[biggunsbob]

Right down the middle KG and he misses it.

 

[biggunsbob]

Damn Dingler lines out

 

[biggunsbob]

Greene doubles ans ties it up 9-9 !

 

[biggunsbob]

Keith singles ! Tigers Win ! 10-9 !
