Seven different Tigers players had rbi’s in the game and Freddy Garcia picked up his first victory since last year in the major leagues.

Magglio Ordonez led the team with four rbi while Miguel Cabrera and Edgar Renteria were right behind him with three rbi each. Ryan Raburn, Brandon Inge, and Dusty Ryan all helped out with two rbi each as well. Not to be left out, Marcus Thames added a rbi of his own. Great showing by the offense as they hammered the Rangers pitching staff.

Garcia tossed five innings to pick up his first win of the season and improve to 1-0. In his five innings, he allowed two hits and only one run. Great start for Freddy! Nate Robertson had some problems in his 2 2/3 innings as he allowed four his and three runs. Four walks by Robertson really hurt him in the game.

The Tigers are off on Thursday and then will begin a series with the Cleveland Indians on Friday.

It was a great way for the Tigers to kick off the series against the A’s.

Finally the offense came around that everyone thought we would see all season long. Gary Sheffield hit two home runs and finished the game with five rbi’s. Miguel Cabrera hit a home run as well and finished the game with three rbi. Magglio Ordonez was right behind Cabrera with a home run of his own and two rbi’s. Mike Hessman also tacked on a home run for the hot hitting Tigers. Brandon Inge added two rbi of his own while Edgar Renteria also had a rbi.

It was a good thing the Tigers hit some many home runs and finished with four runs because the starting pitcher really didn’t throw the ball that good at all. Zach Miner was tagged for 11 hits and eight runs in only 4 1/3 innings. The Tigers bullpen did a good job of holding the A’s to the eight runs to secure the Tigers victory.

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.

What a terrible way to lose a close game that the Tigers had a good shot at winning.

Glover took the loss and is now 1-3 on the year. Tigers starting pitcher Armando Galarraga lasted seven innings as he gave up eight hits and three runs to get the no decision. Galarraga gave up two home runs (both solo shots to Grady Sizemore) in the game and also struck out four while walking three.

Marcus Thames and Edgar Renteria both hit solo home runs for the Tigers. The third Tigers run came in the seventh inning when Brandon Inge reached on an infield single Matt Joyce scored. The Tigers left 16 runners on base and if they would have just came up with one big hit, they would have won this game.

So are Tigers fans just ready for this season to get over with?

There was a ton of fans at the game today and they watched a good ballgame that seen the Tigers avoid the embarassing four game sweep at home. The Tigers are pretty much out of it for the post season unless they go on a big winning streak and win the next 15-16 games. Everyone just has to hang in there for the rest of the season.

In the big eighth inning, it was rbi singles by Miguel Cabrera and Brandon Inge as well as a two run double by Edgar Renteria that plated all five runs for the Tigers. Inge’s single score two runs while Cabrera’s was a one run hit. There wasn’t a whole lot of offense besides the eighth inning so the team is lucky to have come back and won this game.

Armando Galarraga threw his 12th quality start of the season as he pitched eight innings and only gave up six hits and one run. Galarraga struck out six batters and his only mistake was a solo home run to Lyle Overbay. Galarraga is now 11-4 on the season.

Good job by the team to get back in the win column.

Jeremy Bonderman pitched 4.2 innings to earn the no decision.  Bonderman struckout seven batters but also walked seven.  Two earned runs got put on the scoreboard against Bonderman.
