The Tigers potent offense was only able to come up with six hits and one run down in hot Texas where the ball usually flies all over the ballpark.

The one run that the Tigers did get came in the fourth inning when Miguel Cabrera doubled and Ramon Santiago scored. That was it for the Tigers who struggled against Kevin Millwood who tossed a complete game for the Rangers.

Nate Robertson was hit hard and often as he gave up eight hits and eight runs in only 3 2/3 innings. The Rangers played home run derby off of Robertson as they connected on five home runs in the first four innings of the game. The Rangers weren’t done hitting the long ball however as Aquilino Lopez gave up one more in the seventh inning.

All around it was just a terrible game for the Tigers. – Tigers Baseball Blog

Miguel Cabrera led the team with six rbi while Matt Joyce was right behind him with five rbi.  Gary Sheffield had three rbi, Carlos Guillen two rbi, and Ivan Rodriguez chipped in with one rbi each.  Sheffield had a three run home run and Joyce had a two run shot in the game.

Starting pitcher Zach Miner tossed six shutout innings to pick up the win and improve to 4-3 on the season.  Freddy Dolsi did have some problems in the seventh inning as he allowed four hits and four runs to score.  Aquilino Lopez tossed the final two innings of the game without allowing a run to score.  So besides the four run eighth inning, the Tigers pitchers did a pretty good job.

Kenny Rogers will take the mound for the Tigers on Tuesday night as they hope to go up 2-0 in the three game series.  Tigers Blog

Nate Robertson fell to 3-6 on the season as he took the loss in the game.  Giving up eight hits, five runs, and three walks just didn’t get it done for Robertson who threw 6 1/3 innings.  The Tigers bullpen wasn’t any better however as they gave up another five runs in the game.

Freddy Dolsi got right back on the mound after last nights outing and gave up one run while only recording one out in the game.  Casey Fossum had the worst outing however as he gave up four runs without even recording an out!  Fossum, your old, you suck, please retire!  Aquilino Lopez pitched the final 1 1/3 innings and gave up three hits but zero runs.

Both of the Tigers runs came in the sixth inning as Carlos Guillen and Magglio Ordonez both recorded an rbi.  Guillen had a rbi single that scored Ryan Raburn and Ordonez was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded that scored Curtis Granderson.

The Tigers will have a much needed off day on Thursday and then will get back to playing baseball on Friday when they begin a series with the Clevleand Indians.
