Tigers must end skid against Santana
posted in 2007 season, Minnesota Twins |Game 24: Twins at Tigers, 1 p.m

Pitchers: Johan Santana (3-2, 3.44) vs. Mike Maroth (2-0, 5.06)
Pregame thoughts: For some reason I keep thinking UnderArmour. We must protect this house. The Tigers have done a woeful job of that lately. They split with Toronto in the opening series, almost giving a game away. They blew the first two games against the White Sox last weekend and had to rally in the ninth in the third to avoid a sweep. And now with the Central Division rival Twins in town, they lost the first two, having blown a game and then gotten blown out the next.
Despite a pederstrian record, Johan Santana is not the guy you particularly want to stop a slide against. Mike Maroth is not really the pitcher you expect to do it. And judging by last Sunday, a win today would mean little more than it’s-not-a-loss. So, we’ll see what happens.
