The Tigers won again and they did it behind a solid game by Gary Sheffield. The left fielder hit a solo homerun and he also walked twice and scored twice. Sean Casey was two for two with a run and an RBI while Timo Perez was two for four with a run.
On the pitching side, Kenny Rogers gave up two runs on three hits and two walks with a strikeout in five innings. Joel Zumaya pitched two more shutout frames while Todd Jones was his old self. He didn’t give up any runs, but he gave up two hits.
Tomorrow, Justin Verlander throws for the Tigers against the Pirates. Game time is 1:05.
