Zimmermann has left the game with a strained groin and Cabrera has left the game with a knee contusion after being hit by a pitch... thats some bad news.

 

Tigers win a big game, 9-4.
Cabrera is listed as day-to-day.
Hope Zimm aint out long.

 

Jordan Zimmermann is now 7-2. Not a bad pick up at all.

Pelfrey on the mound for the Tigers.

 

Cabrera is OK, but Zimmermann will miss his next start.

 

Tigers hit 4 HR's, 2 by Miggy and beat the Phillies, 5-4.

Back to the .500 mark !

 

Tigers still in 4th place in the AL Central. The good news is that Detroit is only 1 GB from the 2nd place Indians.
