Tigers Open Up Series With White Sox With A Loss

(3-4)

vs

(2-4)

Jeremy Bonderman got off to a very slow start in today's matchup giving up 6 runs in just the 1st 2 innings.

The Tigers lost an AL Central contest today to the White Sox, with Chicago winning by a final score of 9-5. Gary Sheffield went 2-4 and drove in 1 run. Carlos Guillen drilled a 3 run shot in the bottom of the 7th in what looked like a possible Tigers comeback. Jeremy Bonderman got off to a very shaky start but did work deep into the game, hurling 7 innings. He allowed 6 runs, 12 hits and 1 walk dropping his record to 0-2. The Tigers and White Sox play again tomorrow, with Edwin Jackson (0-1. 10.80 ERA) and Gavin Floyd (0-0, 17.18 ERA) the scheduled starters.

Bonderman got rocked. He gave up 6 runs in 2 innings, why'd you leave him in?

After those 6 runs he was solid. Dunno. Have to learn to pitch with him somehow. Through the good times and bad I guess. lol.

Damn, Bonderman looks like he got shelled. 12 hits is a hard day at the office.

Are you starting to hit better now?

I think so. Not striking out as much and starting to generate more than 1/2 runs a game. :happy:

Tigers 8th Inning Rally Falls Just Short; Lose 2nd Straight

(3-5)

vs

(3-4)

Carlos Guillen turns a foul ball into an out in the Tigers loss at Comerica.

Detroit couldn't get past their long-time rivals in this one. The Tigers narrowly lost to the White Sox tonight, as Chicago picked up a key AL Central victory at Comerica Park. Marcus Thames gave the club a small jolt, driving in 2 runs on a pinch hitting base hit to start a rally in the 8th. Edwin Jackson was the starter and loser, despite giving up only 5 hits (and 3 runs) in relaively short outing. The Tigers pitching staff gave up 3 homers in this game, making it very hard for the Tigers to scrape out a win..Tomorrow afternoon's game at Comerica Park, featuring a matchup of Dontrelle Willis (0-0, 1.59 ERA) and Bartolo Colon (0-1, 13.50 ERA), will mark the end of the series. The Tigers will look to avoid the sweep.

Magglio Ordonez belts a 2 run homer to left off of Bartolo Colon.

The Tigers pounded Bartolo Colon for 5 runs as the Tigers were able to pick up a win and avoid getting sweeped by their division rival White Sox. A crowd of 29,997 fans at Comerica Park went home happy lastnight, as they saw their tigers pull out a close 5-3 win. Magglio Ordonez drilled his 1st homer of the season, a 2 run shot in the 6th. Miguel Cabrera also solo'd right after him as part of back to back jack's from the Tigers. Adam Everett also brought in a run on a single as part of a 4 run inning. Dontrelle Willis went a solid 7 innings to earn his 1st win of the season, allowing 3 runs on 8 hits and striking out 5. Joel Zumaya tallied up his 2nd save of the season despite walking 3 batters in the 9th. The Tigers managed to turn a double play to get Zumaya out of a bases loaded jam and to end the game. The Tigers begin a 9-game road journey tomorrow night in Seattle, facing Mariners ace, Felix Hernandez (0-2, 9.31 ERA) in the series opener, while Justin Verlander (1-1, 1.69 ERA) will get the nod for the Tigers.

Tigers Road Woes Continue, Drop To 0-5 Away From Comerica

(4-6)

vs

(4-6)

Marcus Thames went 3-3 and brought in a run in the Tigers loss.

Detroit stumbled against Seattle, losing in the non-divisional tilt. The Tigers couldn't deliver on the road lastnight, losing to the Mariners 7-4. Offensively, the club was led by Marcus Thames, who went 3-3 with 1 RBI after coming in to pinch hit for Adam Everett in the 4th. Miguel Cabrera also came in for 2 of the Tigers 4 runs. Justin Verlander took the loss in a mediocre outing, pitching 6 innings while allowing 5 runs on 6 hits to drop his record to 1-2. The series continues under the lights tomorrow night with Armando Galarraga (1-0, 1.69 ERA) going against Erik Bedard (0-1, 6.52 ERA). Carlos Guillen will look to build on his current 10-game hitting streak.

Colors mixed up in box score.

What's up with you and Clutch against the Mariners? Should be easy pickings.

 

[mfbmike]

I got 18 hits.

18 HITS

WTF

all singles too. The god damn big hit just never came. I had bases loaded with Thames coming up and it hit the left field wall. I got so damn excited. Thought I was gonna get my first grand slam. It's dumb too, cause Safeco seems like such a hitters field. Seems much smaller imo.

 

[Rylo]

Ouch. Tough loss man. This game is brutal on visitors.
