Tigers Take Out Halladay

When I saw that of all the pitchers Detroit would have to face in an odd ball make-up game with Toronto, that it would be Roy Halladay – I just shook my head. What worse luck could Detroit have in this stretch run? But they got lucky. Despite Halladay shutting down the Tigers for most of the game, he ran out of gas in the 9th giving up 2 runs. Janssen came in and got touched for the loss, giving up 2 more as the Tigers made a tremendous come from behind win.

Detroit needed this badly. Every little bit helps. We got another quality start from Kenny Rogers and moved one step closer to the miracle needed to overcome the Yankees or the Indians. So now it’s on to the Rangers with a doubleheader. We’ve got Chad Durbin and Jair Jurrjens throwing, and Texas isn’t all that good, so Detroit could conceivably help themselves tremendously tomorrow. At this point they have no choice.
