This was a big win.  Not only did the Tigers win the game but they won the series with the Angels, 2-1.  Prior to yesterday’s game, the Tigers had dropped 10 in a row to the Angels.

The Tigers got seven strong innings from Ricky then turned it over to the pen.  Ian Krol, the Amazing Al, and Joe Nathan finished out the game and series.

The Good:

• Freeway Rick
• The Bullpen
• Alex Avila threw out Howie Kendrick at second in the fourth inning.

The Bad:

• The offense was horrible.  They managed only five hits and two runs and were aided by four Angels errors.

The Ugly:

• Alex Avila was 0-3 with two backwards Ks.
• Miggy was 0-3 with two backwards Ks
• The Tigers as a team left 18 runners on base.

Chisox come to town tomorrow.
