All Tied Up With Three to Go

September 29th, 2006 | Brian

The Tigers enter their final regular season series of the season tied with Minnesota Twins after a loss to the Blue Jays and a Twins win yesterday. The good news is, the Twins are no longer playing the Royals. The even better news is, the Tigers now get to play the only team that has lost 100 games this season.

The Tigers got off to another bad start. Two errors to the first two batters ended up resulting in two first inning runs. From that point on, it just seemed like Kenny Rogers got unglued and never really got back on track. He left the game in the fourth inning after giving up seven runs, five of which were earned.

Like Wednesday’s game, the Tigers did try to make a comeback. They pulled to within a single run after scoring two in the sixth and three in the seventh but Mike Maroth game up a run in the eighth that gave the Blue Jays a little cushion. The one highlight on the pitching side was a good two innings by Fernando Rodney.

Sean Casey and Craig Monroe both drove in two runs. Is it a coincidence that six of the last seven games that Neifi Perez has gotten the start have been losses? Since trading for Neifi , the Tigers are 5-15 in games in which Neifi Perez got an at ba so that six of seven isn’t an isolated example.

Tonight we’ll see Wil Ledezma going up against Runelvys Hernandez. I was hoping that the Tigers might lock up the division today, but that obviously can’t happen.

[...] The Tigers lost three things in their game against the Toronto Blue Jays last night: the game, the series and sole possession of first place in the division. It was the second straight game where the pitching wasn’t as good as it has been through the bulk of the season. [...]
