Home cooking, same result

Good news and bad news. Good news: the Twins moved no closer to the Tigers. Bad news: Because Cleveland beat them to move into first place.
Oh yeah, and Detroit had a game, too. Well, the Tigers lost again. They’re 2-8 in the last 10. This time, it was the starting pitcher who failed to get the job done, while the bullpen allowed just one run in five innings of work.
That’s because starter Andrew Miller left after four innings of work, in which he gave up a grand slam and other assorted runs to give Chicago a touchdown lead. He came out in the fifth inning, but never made a pitch. He has a sore hamstring, a minor injury the Tigers are saying. But after two straight really bad games, I wonder if they shouldn’t give the kid some extended rest anyway.
The other good news, I suppose we could say, is with two singles and a double, Magglio Ordonez had a nice game. He had just one extra-base hit since July 23 before that.
This awful slump has to end soon. It’s really getting frustrating to watch.
