After that Miner came in and promptly gave up 3 more runs, aided by Thomas's fielding error, and that was the ballgame as the bats go silent once again. All of the production came from the #8 and #9 hitters that went 4 for 6 with a homer, 3 rbi and 2 runs, and 2 walks. Middle of the lineup did nothing.
Is this the time to start worrying? |
Well same ole stuff> Starters hold serve thru five innings and run out of gas in the sixth. Batters put up little fuss in the beginning, score a couple of runs but blow several scoring ops., and in a carryover from last season the batters go dorment in the last three innings. ..today 7 runners LOB, the stat the tigers probably league in.
Willis gave up only 1 hit, but as Mikhail says SEVEN Walks!! The Sox only had 3 HITS total...but they were playing the Tigers..
Meanwhile the Tigers leading hitter is the guy they tried to throw under the bus, Brandon Inge with a .375 hiiting average. Guillen mattches that batting average, bu the "new look" tigers are stinking up the batting box with Cabrera clocking in with a .143 and rinteria at .227. Not to be out done though is Polanco who barely standing with a .087 batting average.
