Game 6: Rangers @ Tigers

.500 is here. Detroit won their second home game today against the Rangers 4 to 3. Pitchers looked great. Defense not so much. Hitters were good enough, but just barely.

Verlander gave 5 solid innings with only 2 hits and 1 earned run with 8 K's. Unfortunately 2 errors in the same inning by Inge and Everett cost him the win. The Rangers scored 2 un-earned runs in the 5th because of those errors. But Robertson came in and set down 6 guys in order. Then Seay came in and got 2 guys in the 8th. Perry came in and finished that inning pretty easily with a soft pop up to 1st base. Then Fernando Rodney closed it OUT. 3 strike outs- Bam, Bam, Bam.

The hitters left 23 guys on base, but just enough of them scored to make it a win.

The Tigers are .500 after 6 games. Last year they had not won a game yet after 6 games. This is progress!
