The Detroit Tigers used a big eighth inning where they scored five runs to defeat the visiting Blue Jays by the score of 5-1. There was a ton of fans at the game today and they watched a good ballgame that seen the Tigers avoid the embarassing four game sweep at home. The Tigers are pretty much out of it for the post season unless they go on a big winning streak and win the next 15-16 games. Everyone just has to hang in there for the rest of the season.

In the big eighth inning, it was rbi singles by Miguel Cabrera and Brandon Inge as well as a two run double by Edgar Renteria that plated all five runs for the Tigers. Inge’s single score two runs while Cabrera’s was a one run hit. There wasn’t a whole lot of offense besides the eighth inning so the team is lucky to have come back and won this game.

Armando Galarraga threw his 12th quality start of the season as he pitched eight innings and only gave up six hits and one run. Galarraga struck out six batters and his only mistake was a solo home run to Lyle Overbay. Galarraga is now 11-4 on the season.

Good job by the team to get back in the win column.
