Tigers win, so do Yanks
posted in 2007 season, Minnesota Twins |Detroit 9, Twins 4 (6 5 innings)
The Tigers and Jair Jurrjens bounced back from a bad first inning in which the Twins scored all four runs. But nine Tigers runs, two rain delays, a called game and 87th victory llater, the Yankees had already brought their playoff magic number to 0. Detroit was eliminated from postseason contention.
Mike Hessman had a home run and two RBIs. Ryan Raburn hit a triple. And that was all in the same inning! Mike Rabelo hit a double.
Maggs watch: 1-2 in the shortened game, .359 average.
Ichiro watch: 1-2, .349 average, through four innings.
Bunt Singles:
- Detroit won 12 of 18 games against the Twins, including 9 of the last 10.
- Jim Leyland will discuss a contract extension with GM Dave Dombrowski Monday. He’s signed through 2008 but would like to add a year. I fully expect this to happen.
- Detroit News columnist Rob Parker is nuts. Ian tells us why at BYB.
