The Detriot Tigers were unable to win their second game in a row as they lost to the Boston Red Sox by the score of 12-6 on Thursday night.  Big innings by the Red Sox really hurt the Tigers and they were not able to come back from such a big deficit.

Nate Robinson took the loss for the Tigers and his record now stands at 0-1.  Robinson threw 5.1 innings and gave up eight hits and four earned runs.  Zack Minor, Francis Beltran, and Yorman Bazardo all gave up earnd runs as well as they pitched in relief of Robinson.

The Tigers were led by Brandon Inge and Placido Polanco who both had two RBI for the Tigers.  Magglio Ordonez also had one RBI on a solo home run in the 7th inning.

No one was expecting this, but the Detroit Tigers are 0-2 on the season after dropping the first two games of the year to the Kansas City Royals.  The lack of offense really hurt the Tigers today against the Royals.

Edgar Renteria was the only Tigers player to record a hit against the Royals pitchers.  Renteria did finish with three hits in four at bats, but everyone else on the roster stunk it up.  Brian Bannister had them guessing all day long.

Kenny Rogers didn’t pitch too bad, as he did throw six innings giving up give hits and two earned runs.  Rogers struckout four batters while walking one.

Zack Minor came in and allowed another two earned runs in the 8th inning.

The Tigers offense will come back, I have no doubt about that.  Hopefully they can pick up a victory against the Royals tomorrow and move their record to 1-2.
