A Series What?

Well, if the Tigs can pull one out and keep a little resemblance of the team that showed up to play last night, then they can get their first series win in two weeks. It seems like forever ago that the Angels were in town and the Tigers were showing them to the airport with a 12-0 victory.

Even though the bullpen pitched well in nine innings of work, they didn't get enough support.

Yesterday, they jumped on top early and stayed that was behind a dominating performance from Justin Verlander and Gary Sheffield. Now that we've experienced the extremes of Tiger baseball, something in the more moderate range that results in a win would be nice.

Mike Maroth needs a good start after his last one against Cleveland, which the Tigers blew in the ninth inning against Cleveland. He pitched "eh" basically, and was helped out by some large run support. Mikey needs to prove that he's worth of a spot on a championship-calibre team, because so far this year, he's been pitching "eh".
