Tigers fall to the Royals

Justin Verlander gave up 5 walks today but he managed to strand each of them. After 6 innings he had given up 0 earned runs, 1 run, 5 walks, 2 hits and had recorded 4 strikeouts. This should be enough to win a game but unfortunately the offense fell flat, collecting only 5 hits and 1 run. Jose Mesa continued to not impress me when he gave up two runs in a 0.1 innings - his ERA is 54.00 after today's regular season debut in a Tigers uniform.

It was a very cold day and neither team was producing much offense, however, the Royals capitalized on their few hits and one Tigers error.

Tigers record: 1-2
