Alright, I’m picking this one up a little bit late but the Tigers and Indians are in the fourth inning.  C.C. Sabathia looked sharp for the Indians and he struck out three in his two innings while Kenny Rogers was knocked around.  He gave up two runs on three hits and a walk in two innings.  The Tigers cut the lead in half when Craig Monroe scored on Magglio Ordonez’s sac. fly.  Indians 2, Tigers 1. 

***UPDATE 1***

Alright, the Tigers bounced back with six runs in the fourth inning off of Chuck Lofgren with the big hit being a three run homerun off of Ramon Santiago.  Ordonez drew a bases loaded walk and he now has two RBIs without getting a single hit.  Then in the bottom half of the inning, the Indians got a run on a solo shot by David Delucci.  Tigers 7, Indians 3 heading into the fifth inning.

***UPDATE 2***

Things really calmed down after that fifth inning and only the Indians scored another run and that wasn’t until the ninth.  Kyle Sleeth looked sharp with two shutout innings and three strikeouts and Virgil Vazquez threw two shutout innings and struck out two.

Tomorrow, the Tigers are on ESPN against the Yankees at 1:05.  And if you have Gameday Audio, you can listen to the Diamondbacks versus the Rockies at 9:05.
