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?
