Tim Wakefield had a pretty good start, huh?  The Tigers were held to a mere three hits in their 5-0 loss to the Red Sox and they made Tim Wakefield look like a Cy Young candidate.  Unlike last night, they didn’t even get the walks to go with the lack of hits.  Ivan Rodriguez doubled and Curtis Granderson and Carlos Guillen both singled and that was it.  It’s the fifth time this year the Tigers have been shut out.

Nate Robertson didn’t gave a great start either and he fell to 1-4.  He gave up four runs on ten hits and two walks with four strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings.  Freddy Dolsi made his major league debut and he gave up a solo homer to Manny Ramirez on his very first pitch.  Welcome to the bigs Freddy.  Dolsi was called up when Denny Bautista hit the disabled list.

Armando Galarraga will try to break the streak tomorrow night.  The Red Sox will throw Clay Buchholz.
