I am surprised Victor didn't get plunked. That is what they do in Baltimore...right?? The after-effect would have been fun to see.
I thought the same thing. I guess the Orioles thought twice about it this time. May be just a Bud Norris thing too, he does that from time to time.

Good series for the Tigers. They win and sweep Baltimore, 7-5. Verlander wins his 5th and Nathan gets the save. Points of interest... Cabrera continues to hit, 2 RBI today. The much talked about Bull Pen pitched 9 innings this series and never allowed a run. Tigers are now 24-12. Not bad at all.
Bud Norris has officially made my sh*t list. I wish Torii would've beat his arse. Nothing worse than a fat pitcher with a big mouth Tigers really in a groove. Got a little nervous today when JV gave up 5 in the 5th but that ump was a joke. He shouldve been out before Cruz got up. Then he pinps us again in the 9th with Nathan. Ray Charles knew that was a strike to Davis. Terrible. Still got the win. Rajai showing some power
Welcome back Cutter! Missed ya around here. Quit working so hard and play every once in a while. seriously...glad you have plenty of work to do and hopefully things are going well. You and the son catch a Tigers game yet? I gotsta get up there soon...been a while.

I guess you could say this is a rematch. Tigers in Boston for three this weekend, their first meeting since the ALCS. Max goes tonight, Porcello is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday features the return of Anibal Sanchez. Tigers on the road this season are 11-4, 24-12 over-all. The Red Sox are 20-20, third in the AL East.
