The Detroit Tigers hit five home runs as they crushed the Texas Rangers 8-2.  I should say they crushed them on the scoreboard, but the game should have actually been a lot closer as the Rangers left 19 runners on base.  I will give the Tigers credit however, they did get out of some big jams in the game.

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.

Zach Minor came in to pitch after Bonderman and threw 3.1 innings and did not allow a hit as he struckout three batters.  Minor earned the win in the game.

Magglio Ordonez led the Tigers at the plate with four RBI.  Ordonez connected for two home runs as he went 3-4 at the plate.  Curtis Granderson, Brandon Inge, and Ryan Raburn all hit solo home runs in the game as well.  Edgar Renteria also had a RBI.
