Verlander dominates Royals
posted in Random |Tigers 6, Royals 3
Not much recap here tonight. Justin Verlander cruised against the Royals. He did get into a bit of trouble, giving up plenty of hits over the course of the game and allowing the Royals to load the bases. But a double play got him out of it.
In Carlos Guillen’s first game back after Jim Leyland gave him a few days to rest his shoulder, the shortstop went 3-for-4 with two RBIs. Curtis Granderson, Magglio Ordonez, and, yes, even Sean Casey(!) had two-hit games. Casey even drove in a run with two-outs, but he wasn’t the only one. All six Tigers runs came with two-outs.
Around the Central
Detroit is the only team in the American League Central to win. The Angels defeated the White Sox; the Orioles beat Cleveland; and Boston beat Minnesota. That puts the Tigers a game out of first in the division, if you’re the type to keep track.
