Cleveland is in KC tonight. 1st pitch - 8:10. Time for the Tigers to start playing good, clean, baseball. They must put it all together now. Sox only have 7 wins this month...must beat them up.
JV threw 23 pitches in the 1st. The inning lasted just shy of a generation. 14 of the 30 Tigers remaining games are against Chicago and Minnesota. 2 of the worst teams at giving up runs. I am glad its only 1-0, tho.
