Kenny Rogers gave up three baserunners but didn’t allow a run in his two innings of work as he finished off the Tigers rotation circuit today.  Four other Tigers threw shutout innings in the 3-1 loss and it was Matt Mantei who was tagged for a pair of runs.  Jason Grilli also had a tough time in the eighth inning and he gave up the final of the three runs.

Brandon Inge got the start at catcher and he also led off the game.  Matthew Joyce drove in the lone run and Michael Hollimon had the lone extra base hit with a double and he scored the only Tiger run.

Jeremy Bonderman gets the start tomorrow against the Rays.  The Tigers will still be playing in the afternoon so it’s a 1 pm start.
