anytime you’re facing Pedro, you’re chances aren’t very good. To take the game into extra innings means they had another strong pitching performance.

I didn’t get a chance to watch the game, so I’m writing this based on what I’m getting out of the box score. I did see Pirates of the Caribbean tonight though, and I highly recommend it.

So, it looks like Carlos Pena had a clutch double to drive in the tying run in the eighth. Mears continues to shine by pitching another 1 2/3 scoreless innings, but Rodney, another recent call up, got roughed up. And then Kim closed the door. Todd Jones gets the win against his former team as well, despite having a rough 10th inning.

And that makes the Tigers 1-9 in extra inning games.

The positive: Another strong outing by most of the bullpen and Roney (striking out 7). Another multi-hit game from Warren Morris (although he struck out 3 times as well).
