Todd Jones entered today's game as the Major League leader in saves. He had a perfect record and a 0.00 ERA. Tigers fans knew it wouldn't last, though, as he has a history that earned him the Ernie Harwell given nickname of The Rollercoaster. Today Jones came into the bottom of the 9th against the Kansas City Royals with the Tigers up 3-1. By the end of the inning Jeremy Bonderman's fantastic outing (7 innings, 1 run, 3 hits, 6 strikeouts, 0 walks) was erased leaving him still looking for his first win on the season. After the 10th inning the Royals won 4-3 on a John Buck HR hit against Fernando Rodney.
Tigers record: 9-6
