Armando Galarraga is cruising while Casper Wells and Brennan Boesch are crushing. Wilkin Ramirez has a big day and Daniel Fields shows off his wheels.
Jacob Turner made his 2nd start, but Brayan Villarreal is stealing the show. Brennan Boesch continues to mash and Armando Galarraga has another encouraging start.

Magglio’s option, rookie at-bats, and Phil Coke’s cojones highlight today’s links.
Some news and notes in the aftermath of the Armando-Galarraga-perfect-game-that-wasn’t-due-to-Jim-Joyce-blown-call-heard-round-the-world.
The Tigers have dropped 4 of their last 5 games. They’ll try to right the ship tonight with Dontrelle Willis on the mound as they welcome in the Oakland A’s.
