Yeah the Tigers lost to the Royals at home. You are probably like me at this point and you are just asking yourself is this season over yet?

Zach Miner took the loss after giving up six hits and four runs in six innings of action. Miner is now 8-5 on the season. Relief pitcher Bobby Seay gave up three more hits and two runs. Seay had another bad outing, what else would you expect at this point in this season?

Magglio Ordonez and Jeff Larish had the two rbi’s for the Tigers. Ordonez a rbi sac fly and Larish a rbi single.

The Tigers will try to even up the series on Tuesday. – Tigers Blog

This time Verlander lost to the Cleveland Indians by the score of 9-5. Verlander gave up seven hits and five runs in six innings of action. His record is now a terrible 10-14 on the season.

Verlander wasn’t the only Tigers pitcher to throw the ball badly however. Gary Glover and Bobby Seay both gave up two runs in one inning of action. They didn’t help out one bit as they let the Indians extend there lead too far. Kyle Farnsworth allowed two hits but didn’t allow a run to cross the plate.

Magglio Ordonez made things interesting in the ninth inning when he hit a two run home run which was his 16th of the season. Ordonez also had a rbi double in the seventh inning. Curtis Granderson had a solo home run of his own and also a rbi single as he finished with two rbi. Brandon Inge and Ramon Santiago both tried to help out with an rbi each of their own but the Tigers still fell two runs short.

Nate Robinson was rocked in his four innings of action as he gave up 11 hits and six runs.  Robinson is now 6-7 on the season as he took the loss in the game.  Robinson was cruising along until the fourth inning when Craig Monroe hit a three run home run and then it was all down hill.

Zach Miner and Bobby Seay both tossed two innings of scoreless relief for the Tigers.

Marcus Thames hit a two run home run to lead the Tigers at the plate with two rbi.  Gary Sheffield also had a rbi double that scored Carlos Guillen in the eighth inning.  It just wasn’t the Tigers night at the plate even though they had ten hits in the game.

Clete Thomas walked with the bases loaded in the bottom of the tenth inning to score Curtis Granderson from third base.  Not the way you see a team win by very often, but it worked for the Tigers.  The game got to extra innings when Gary Sheffield hit a solo home run off Ryan Franklin in the bottom of the ninth inning.  Sheffield came up huge with that solo home run!

What is pretty funny is that Thomas walked with the bases loaded in the sixth inning as well.  Both of his rbi in the game via a walk with the bases loaded.  I wonder how often that has happened in a game?

Bobby Seay pitched the top of the tenth inning and ended up picking up the win for the Tigers.  Seay is now 1-1 on the season.  Starting pitcher Nate Robertson pitched 6 1/3 innings and gave up 11 hits and one run.  Robertson did a good job of getting out jams to let only one run score off 11 hits.  Todd Jones gave up three hits and one run in one inning of action as well.

Let’s see if the Tigers can carry over any momentum into their weekend series with the Colorado Rockies.

Carlos Guillen led the Tigers at the plate with a three run home run off Cardinals starter Kyle Lohse in the fourth inning.  Curtis Granderson, Magglio Ordonez, and Sheffield all finished the game with one rbi each.  The Tigers had chances to score more runs in the game but they left 20 runners stranded on the bases.

Todd Jones improved to 3-0 as he picked up the win after pitching the top of the ninth inning.  Tigers starting pitcher Armando Galarraga pitched 4 2/3 innings and gave up eight hits and five runs.  Four of the five runs were earned for Galarraga.  Zach Miner and Joel Zumaya pitched the next three innings and they gave up a combined two runs and walked five batters.  Bobby Seay was finally able to get out of that mess by striking out the final batter in the top of the eighth inning.

The Tigers and Cardinals will now battle it out once again as they play the rubber match of the three game series this afternoon.  It will be a quick turn around for everyone so it will be interesting to see how they come out and play.  We could expect a sluggish came, and one where they players just want to get it over with.

You do have to give a lot of credit to the Tigers bullpen however as they held the Indians do the eight runs the rest of the game.  Denny Bautista (2.2 innings), Clay Rapada (3 innings), and Bobby Seay (2 innings) all did a great job and each pitcher only gave up one hit.

Both of the Tigers runs came in the fourth inning.  Edgar Renteria had a rbi single and Placido Polanco had a rbi double.  The Tigers offense left 22 runners on base while the struckout seven times.  You just aren’t going to get the job done in most cases by leaving that many runners on base and not putting the ball in play with the runners on base.

The Tigers are now 11 games under .500 at 26.37 on the season.  Are they ever going to turn this thing around and get back to .500?

Bobby Seay actually took the loss as he gave up a lead off single in the 11th inning and that was the winning run that scored.  Dontrelle Willis took the no decision after throwing four innings and allowing two hits and no runs.  The Tigers are going to be very cautious with Willis as he regains arm strength to be come a starter once again.

Armando Galarraga gave up three runs after he came into the game when Willis exited.  Casey Fossum then was called upon but he also gave up a run as the Tigers bullpen just didn’t get the job done.

Curtis Granderson, Placido Polanco, Miguel Cabrera, and Carlos Guillen all had a rbi in the game for the Tigers.  They just weren’t able to get that one or two big runs at the end of the game to come away with a victory.

The Tigers are now 7-14 on the season and need continue winning games if they want to get back into contention in the cental division.
