1 run that went our way

The Tigers beat their divisional rival the Cleveland Indians today 5-4, pounding out 14 hits - 3 of which belonged to the formerly struggling Brandon Inge. The hit to run ratio may seem quite wide but the boys combined for only 2 strikeouts and 6 left on base so it was a good effort, aside from a throwing error by Carlos Guillen.

Jeremy Bonderman pitched for 5 innings giving up 4 hits, 3 walks and 2 runs - he also recorded 4 strikeouts. Todd Jones finally gave up a run and decided why not make it two? He blew the save but ended up recording the win. Joel Zumaya is still going strong with yet another scoreless inning. I know that spring training stats really don't mean much but what a boost of confidence for the young flamethrower if he can make it to the regular season without giving up a run.
