The Tigers got excellent pitching and just enough offense to beat the Astros and Jarred Cosart 2-0 at Comerica Park.

The Good:

• Max was smokin balls.  He pitched eight complete allowed no runs, on three hits, walked one and struck out nine.
• Nathan got his sixth save.
• The Tigers won their sixth in a row.
• Vmart came up big with a solo shot in the eight to give Nathan and Scherzer a two run cushion.

The Bad:

• The Tigers were baffled, for the most part, by Jarred Cozart but after their 26 run out burst over the weekend we’ll take it.
• The Tigers managed only six hits.
• VMart got caught looking for the first time in almost a year.

The Ugly:

• After looking like he was retuning to form, Miggy looked bad tonight at the plate.  He was 0-4 with a K and really didn’t have many good swings.

A win is a win and the Tigers found a way to get it done.  I can’t complain about six in a row.

I’m looking forward to Robby Ray’s start tomorrow.  The Tigers, and especially Dave Dombrowski, really think a lot of this kid.  Let’s see what he’s got.
