I want a 3 game win streak

Scherzer vs Lewis

[gladdyontherise]

Tigers win tonight! 13-7 final, offense was awesome tonight.

Boesch had his first career 5 hit game, 2 HRs and 5 RBIs. Scherzer was off again, but ended up getting the win, he looks to be having a mechanical issue which needs to be fixed, but a win is a win.

Porcello vs Harrison tommorow

[gladdyontherise]

Another Tigers win tonight! Offense went bonkers! 20 hits in tonights game, every starter had atleast 1 hit. Porcello pitched very good tonight again. 6 innings 1 run, 3 scoreless innings from the bullpen and a 8-1 win!

Guarntees the Tigers atleast a 4-2 roadtrip and going for the sweep tommorow, which will be tough.

Ogando vs Coke tommorow night

[gladdyontherise]

And as expected to a degree. A loss tonight to Ogando, the defense didnt show up tonight and gave the team no chance to win, allowing 5 runs off of errors.

4 game home set vs Seattle starts tommorow though

Verlander on the mound

[spuds1961]

Ah you guys were due for a loss can't win them all you know.I expect a sweep of seattle as I just don't see them as that good of a team.

[gladdyontherise]

Sweep, probably not. 3 of 3 is extremely possible. Tigers get Pineda & Hernandez, I see them probably losing to Pineda

[gladdyontherise]

Verlander with his 7th win on the season tonight! He was great 1 run on a wildpitch strike 3 was all the Mariners could get, Avila crushed 2 triples, one RBI. Don Kelly with a clutch RBI single followed up by a 2 run bomb by Boesch!

Valverde finishes out the 9th and now just 1 game behind Cleveland for first place

[spuds1961]

Hmmm 3-2 loss last night,something about a kiss of death Dan,I think you guys will be in first by the end of the weekend though,that is if the Yankees can keep their hitting shoes on,as their pitching is awful.

June 17th, because this week is a 3 game series vs Cleveland.

The loss was a bad one though, considering Penny had a 2-1 lead to work with, oh well. Atleast the bullpen is finally delivering..Al Alberquerque, that guy not only has an awesome name, but his slider is ridiculous..

[gladdyontherise]

Scherzer vs Pineda tonight though Steve.

Leyland said the other day he was watching film with the pitching coaches on Scherzer and they found something (probably his arm slot, if you remember last year he had the same problem to begin the season)

Assuming they fix that he'll be great again
