It’s another night of breathtaking drama in Kansas City. Will Justin Verlander pitch like an ace? Will Luke Hochevar spin a 3rd gem against Detroit this season? Who will be the target of Rod Allen’s “I see you xxx”
All that and more tonight at 8:10.

Willis starts for Arizona tonight. It will be interesting to watch his return to the National League.
Hmm, so far it looks like we are dealing with Cy Hochevar
Well, considering what Jim said in his interview before the game, it looks like the bottom of the order better you know what or get off the pot. I’m not gonna hold my breath.
well one thing you can sure count on is whatever Jim says …absolutely will not happen!
KC owns the Tigers ..get every bounce, make every play , get every big hit…like men playing with boys!
gee that three walks this inning oh thats right Inge swung at those pitches .my bad
R3L2O-K…sigh
What did Leyland say before the game? Those of us out of towners get the game 5 minutes before the start of it on the package, and about 10 seconds after it ends the screen goes to a “Good Night” graphic and we get some lovely repetitive music.
Talked about the bottom of the order just not getting it done at the plate. Need to get more production, etc., etc, etc. Hurting the team, etc. etc. etc.
D train is through one no hits and one walk…………. Would have liked to see that here
I think we did for an inning or so during the past 2 1/2 years.
After 4 innings his new season ERA is 0.00, his BA is 1.000
Dear Mr. Hochevar: thank you very much for pitching to Cabrera when you really didn’t need to. Sincerely, Tiger Fans
I have the KC broadcast and the guy calling the game called it as a “deep flyball to Right field” It was well over the fence. Nice job guys …………. These guys also love Hochevar in a silly gushing way.
Well, it was to Left field but I thought the same thing. The KC broadcasters were still treating it like it was in question when as soon as I saw Cabrera’s expression after he hit it I knew it was gone.
We gotta win this one. Come on, Tigers.
Mario just said “one of those nights for Brandon” after his 3rd K (last two on 6 pitches, mind you).
When hasn’t it been “one of those nights?”
Yeah I know what you mean Kevin,,,,,, I like Inge but he really is a utility player. I think his contract is up at the end of this year………… No Way is he our regular 3rd baseman next year. Let see what FA we can get for third
Wow 10Ks for Hochevar 3 for Inge ouch
D train Through 3 3 walks 2 hits 54 pitches 27 strikes / 27 balls ….. about the same
Thats pretty much what we needed. CARLOS alright
And Inge stops his consecutive strike streak at 9.
Should this be that hard against KC ???, I was hoping for a 6-1 ho hum game.
>> Not sure how this ended up here, could be operator error
Baseball has been great for Inge. Makes 5 mil a year, 3K’s,,, 1 hit, and your average goes up. Sweet
Good to see a catcher on our roster with a BA above .200. Makes me feel like we still belong in the American League.
Sure could use a DP here. Well, this is it. Zoom doesn’t have it.,
Take the kid out JL. No need to mess around.
First, Verlander has a hissy fit, now Zoom. Here comes Phil Coke. Bases loaded, no outs.
Yes, Papa Grande!
Good to get the win but these guys need to be more disciplined at the plate. 10 ks tonight and about the same last night?? That it is some really free swing’in against some average pitching.
Better than average pitching tonight, imo. Seems like it’s always a struggle with Kansas City.
Ah Willis. Six innings pitched, nine baserunners, no runs. Crack that WHIP! Things to remember: he is now pitching for a team going nowhere in a media market where no one cares. If you think that doesn’t matter to a head case like Willis you’re wrong. While pitching in games that mattered in a tougher league,he largely immolated and called in sick twice this year. It wouldn’t shock me if he won 7-8 games with Diamondback. No one should confuse that with him being an asset on a contending ballclub.
I’m really not interested in what he does. I wish him the best, but he drove us all nuts. And, he’ll probably drive them nuts too, eventually.
That’s a good attitude. Well said.
I think the monkey is off his back now that’s he’s out of Detroit. He couldn’t handle the pressure here because of all that money we gave him. He’s not the 1st player to choke when money is on the line and he won’t be the last.
He looks like a natural NL pitcher. Hitting probably help him relax some.
I’m just glad he’s gone. He was a piss poor fit here in Detroit. We got 5 solid starting pitchers anyway, so we won’t miss him.
see the bottom of the batting order mandate paid off . Of course Rauburn-Laird_Everett sat, but 5 hits might be tops this year. Goo job by Ramon and Avila. Too bad Avila’s two hits will put him on the bench tomorrow
When Smokey called out tje BOBS in his pre-game Inge said: Whew! ‘Im glad I bat near the top!!!!!!! he can’t mean me!
