Robertson with a rehab start at AA no hits an opponent in 6 innings of work. Two players reached - one on error one on walk. He also struck out 6.

Tigers O' finally starts to get some recognition:

Quote:

“The Tigers have tremendous balance and depth all the way up and down the lineup,” the MLB handicapper says. “Left-right, contact-power, etc. It’s almost a dream lineup to manage.”

Magglio Ordonez has been the top offensive player in the majors this year and he’s been even hotter in June, hitting .500 (yep, you read that correctly) to lead Detroit in its run for the AL Central title.

But check out the other Tigers regulars in June: Brandon Inge is hitting .373, Placido Polanco .370, Gary Sheffield .369, Omar Infante .343, Curtis Granderson .342, Carlos Guillen .326, Ivan Rodriguez .322 and Sean Casey .321.

Craig Monroe, in fact, is the only Detroit player with at least 35 at bats in the month of June hitting below .321.

The Tigers just swept the Washington Nationals, scoring 32 runs over the three games and winning admiration along the way.

"Best team we've seen all year," catcher Brian Schneider raved to the Washington Post after Wednesday’s game, an 8-4 Detroit win as a -196 favorite.

The eight runs was the Tigers’ lowest output of the series and all three games in Washington easily played over the books’ total of 9 ½ runs.

Great game by Rogers today. 6 innings allowing only 2 hits and he had 5 strikeouts. He was going against a pretty good opponet in the Braves too.

Braves now shutout for 3 straight games. Tigs are #1 in the division overtaking Injuns.

Al is still better than NL .543 all time.

The Tigers extend there winning streak to 6 games and Verlander threw another great game, only giving up one run, only giving up 4 hits, and striking out 11 in 7 innings. Hopefully they can sweep the Braves and keep the winning streak going.

These guys look tough going into the all-star game. With starting pitching matching the intensity of hitting, all we need now is for Todd Jones to be less exciting.............

He's doing his job. Got his 18th save today. The guy, although with extra excitement, gets things done when they matter.

Cleveland with comeback yesterday to stay within one game of Tigers. They scored 3 in top of 9th and then Washington screws up the bottom of 9th to run into 2 outs with bases loaded and 1 out. Final 4-3.
