Chad Durbin took over for the injured Kenny Rogers today in an afternoon game against the Houston Astros and was credited with the win in the 3-1 victory. He pitched for 5.2 innings giving up 5 hits and 2 walks. Even with Mark Wegner (one of my least favorite umps) behind home plate he picked up 2 strikeouts.
Each Tigers regular starter was limited to 1 at bat today. Brandon Inge hit a double which drove in all 3 runs. Resting the regulars this close to the start of the season makes good sense - they are already tuned up and risking further injuries with Rogers on the DL and Vance Wilson having issues would not be a good decision.
