There you go Tigers fans!  That is the Tigers offense that everyone thought they would see when the season started.  The Tigers put up 13 runs on the Cleveland Indians as the Tigers won 13-2.  Seven runs in the fifth inning proved to be too much for the Indians lol.

Miguel Cabrera had a huge night as he went 4-6 with five RBI including a two-run home run in the second inning.  Edgar Renteria also had five RBI for the Tigers.  Ryan Raburn and Brandon Inge also chipped in with one RBI each.

Armando Galarraga pitched 6.2 innings to pick up the win.  Galarrago only allowed one hit and two earned runs.  Jason Grilli pitched the final 2.2 innings and only gave up two hits.

I thought the Tigers would turn it around, and they have the last three games.  I look for them to continue doing it, and get right back into contention.  What do you think Tigers fans?

The Detroit Tigers cannot catch a break right now as they have started the season off with a 0-4 record.  On Friday, the White Sox got the better of the Tigers with a 8-5 victory.

Jason Grilli picked up the loss for the Tigers as the White Sox scored three runs in the 7th inning off of him.  Nate Robertson started the game for the Tigers and lasted five innings while he allowed seven hits and five earned runs.  Definately not the way Robertson wanted to start off the season.

Ivan Rodriguez led the Tigers with two RBI.  Jacque Jones and Clete Thomas chipped in with one RBI apeace.  Edgar Renteria had a terrible day at the plate going 0-5 and leaving right guys on base.  Right there is why the Tigers lost the game..

The Tigers will try to get their first win of the season on Saturday as Dontrelle Willis will make his first start with the Tigers.

The Detroit Tigers defeated the New York Mets in the first spring training major league baseball game of 2008.  The Tigers used a four spot in the 7th inning for their big inning as they went on to beat the Mets 4-2.

Magglio Ordonez’s infield single leading off the second inning was Detroit’s only hit through the first six innings, until Mike Hessman tripled off the center-field fence with one out in the seventh. Marcus Thames doubled him in, then Wilkin Ramirez’s two-run single put the Tigers ahead. Brandon Inge, who replaced Curtis Granderson in center field, had an RBI single and a walk.

Jeremy Bonderman pitched two innings for the Tigers pretty much just throwing fastballs and gave up two runs on four hits.  Location is the big thing that the pitchers are trying to find at this point in spring training.  That is why you didn’t see Bonderman throwing any of his offspeed pitches today.

Jason Grilli and Zach Miner each threw two innings of scoreless ball while Larrison, Byrdak, and Bautista, each threw one inning of scoreless baseball.  Larrison picked up the win as well.

The Tigers spring training record now stands at 1-0.
