Rough Day for the Pitchers

Nate Robertson scuffled today and as a result his ERA jumped from well below 1.00 (it was 0.68 after the first inning) to 3.12. In 5 innings he gave up 4 hits, 3 walks and 5 runs. Fernando Rodney gave up 3 runs in 1 inning. In the end 4 Tigers pitchers combined to give up 10 runs in a 10-4 loss against the Washington Nationals.

The Tigers offense combined for 8 hits - 3 of which came off of the bat of Chris Shelton.

Former Tigers Watch: Robert Fick was the starting catcher and Nook Logan the starting CF for the Nationals. Fick went 1 for 2 with a run (his spring average is .276) and Logan went 2 for 4 with a run and 2 RBIs (his average is .250).

The boys just didn't have it today - it happens.
