The Tigers try to keep it going against familiar foe Edwin Jackson while Rick Porcello returns to the mound after a layoff caused by the need for some extra bullpen work.

Lets go Tigers! Another big one at home as the D-Backs have lost 14 straight on the road and we have won 7 in a row. Porcello, please just keep us in the game and let the offense do the rest.
Meanwhile Philly went into the 9th with a 5-run lead over the Twins and just blew it
the Twinkies just put up 5 runs in the 9th to tie the Phillies…
Wow, Arizona has some tin gloves out there
Between the Twins comeback and 0 runs with bases juiced and 0 outs, these last three baseball minutes could not have been worse.
GIDP monster strikes again.
If only we could have kept it going till the big bats at the bottom of the order came up..
The next 3 minutes actually has those 3 beat
got to take advantage of getting to Jackson early…..he certainly gets better
twins winning now
Gload goes long! It’s tied at 10
Butera (.154, rookie for MN) hit his first career HR against ex-Tiger Durbin in the 10th, twinkies take a 10-9 lead
Whole night just changed. I realize that it is very early, but I think everyone on here feels it.
Feels like we’re watching batting practice.
hey Rick try a few pitches not down the middle……even the outs are getting hit 330
I think Laird tweaked his neck a little on that rip by Avila maybe he should sit just a few more days!
Gload (BA= 208) homers w/2 out to tie Twins!
And naturally the Twins come back to score in the 11th (2 walks, sacrifice, single)
And added 2 more, this one looks like a lost cause
I think Laird tweaked his neck a little watching that rip by Avila maybe he should sit just a few more days!
hey Gene Avila wasn’t tagging for what reason???
Jumpin’ Gene sleeps with his eyes open
hey Rick …much better …keep it up
maybe Sardinha can save the day for the Phillies
Twinkies score 8 in the 9th..10th..11th…..sometimes I forget how good the
Tiger pen has been til you see something like this
As I say that bang bang 3 runs here!!!
Porcello needs to go to Toledo
a game of a ton of chances and not much cashing in….guess it was bound to happen sooner or later
CarLOB Guillen was the hole in the lineup today, he was off today.
In fact the middle of the order was a letdown:
(through 8)
tops – 3-12, 0BB
mids – 2-11, 1 BB
bottoms – 4-9 1 BB, 1 sac
It’s a shame not to take advantage of another good 7-9 game
maggs!
Tigers had 3-4 chances to move runners up form second with no outs and failed every time…..had many many chances to score…..failed most of the time…Arizona..went after the toughest 4 hitter in the league with the game on the line….got him….good job Arizona…guess that’s why no one wins 162 games
It’s always a bad omen when the Twins finagle an impossible win. With whoever they bargained their collective souls to pull off that most impossible victory, they were shrewd enough to negoitate a Tiger’s loss with the deal.
Yep agree. Can’t leave it up to Cabby every night. Gotta make good on some of those other chances.
Porcello is never going to be a legit #2 starter until he finds a strikeout pitch. The other side puts too many balls into play vs. Porcello and enough of those are bound to find a hole, especially with as many groundbalss as he forces with his sinker.; Coming into tonight Porcello was averaging less than 4 K’s per 9 innings. That is pathetic, especially with a second baseman who probably has less mobility/range than any second sacker in the AL (meaning there will be plenty of ground singles into RF this summer vs. Porcello). No strikeout pitch= no sustainable success for Porcello. If they send him to Toledo, it should be to focus on developing some sort of strikeout pitch because right now he isn’t close to having one.
Well, he’s pretty young. I think he’ll be fine. Really really good, in fact. At the beginning of the year he was pitching well and getting pretty unlucky. The last few starts he has been getting hit much harder.
Silver lining: now billfer can correct the game numbers on the headings without jinxing a winning streak
porcello optioned to toledo
