Nate Robertson pitched a gem against the Baltimore Orioles today. In 7.1 shutout innings he yielded only 4 hits and a walk. He struck out 5.
Curtis Granderson went 2 for 3 with 2 runs. Neifi Perez got the start in place of the slumping Brandon Inge but was replaced by Inge in the later innings for defensive reasons. The Orioles lone run in the 3-1 Tigers victory was collected on a Corey Patterson HR hit in the 8th inning off a 100mph fastball from Joel Zumaya.
Although the scoring wasn't high this was a much better effort from the Tigers and is hopefully a sign of things to come.
Tigers record: 4-3
