Porcello did a great job today. 7 IP, 5 H, 3 ER. Too bad he cant get a W. 3-3 7th inning. Gets pulled for Joba.
4-3 Tigers win on a walkoff sac fly by the other Martinez. Joe Nathan gets the W. Take em anyway you can get em. Tigers take their first series since Boston more than a month ago...yowza!

it started in the bullpen and has now infected the starters. but one nice thing, at least - gotta love this kid suarez.
...and what a catch he just made! I read today that the Tigers like what they see from him so much their not worried about trading for a SS. I left and finished a few things out back and it was 7-2. I get back in and Coke is pitching now and its 10-2. This is some crazy stuff going on...it must be some sort of infection. Hope there's a cure.

Omar Infante likes Tigers pitching...a lot. 2-1 final. 10 straight for the Royals and Tigers going South.
