The Detroit Tigers finished off a three game sweep of the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday afternoon with a 7-1 victory.  The Tigers pretty much dominated all three games of the series and are now 52-49 on the season.  The Tigers are getting on a roll and I think they are going to show us some great things in the second half of the season.

Armando Galarraga improved to 8-4 on the season as he tossed seven innings to pick up the win.  Galarrage only gave up three hits and one run while striking out seven Royal batters.  Galarraga didn’t give up the one run until the seventh inning when Jose Guillen had a rbi single.

Casey Fossum tossed the 9th inning and did not allow a run to score even though he did allow one hit.  Todd Jones then came in to finish off the Royals in the 9th inning.

Miguel Cabrera had three rbi for the Tigers at the plate as he had another good day.  Magglio Ordonez was right behind him as he finished the game with two rbi.  Edgar Renteria also tacked on a rbi in the game as well.  Good effort by the offense!

Now the Tigers will be off on Thursday and then they will begin a weekend series against the Chicago White Sox.  It will be a huge series against the White Sox.
