Tigers vs. astros Game Thread May 13

Holy Shit Andy Dirks with a Grand Slam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tigers lead 7 - 2,
 
Now I know there were posters who didn't like Dirks in the leadoff spot in a different thread. Don't know about you but so far he is doing pretty good.
 
Tigers had been 6-for-33 with the bases loaded (.182) before Dirks uncorked his first career grand slam, now 7 for 34.
First career grand slam for Andy Dirks. Second time he has homered on an 0-2 pitch. He got Freddy Garcia on one last year.

Not long a go a couple posters wanted him sent to Toledo.
 
Dirks is the first Tigers player to hit a grand slam on an 0-2 pitch since Randall Simon did so off Blake Stein on 9/26/01 at KC.
 
As much as Victor has struggled at the plate, he's now on pace to drive in 77 runs, which wouldn't be far off from what we expect.
 
Sanchez now over 80 pitches,
FU jim joyce no strike call on a knee high for a walk, and more pitches for Sanchez,

make it 83 for Anibal,

Tigers lead 7 -2.
 
We really need to win this series if not sweep, since we're heading out to Texas to face the Rangers and then the Indians.
 
Last Tiger to hit for the cycle was Carlos Guillen in 2006. Dirks is a triple away, with at least two or three at-bats left.

for sure. I think the Rangers will take 2 at the minimum and probably 3 from the Tigers.
