They just couldn’t get it going against Jared Weaver. Ordonez had the only hot hand, but The Tigers just couldn’t string anything together, and looked flat all game. Verlander had his good stuff today, but got rocked in the 6th inning. It defies logic, really. Detroit had their actual starting line-up in for the first time all year, Verlander looked better than he has all year, and they still lose. Maybe The Angels are just better. Maybe they got lucky. Whatever the reason, The Tigers lost the series and now get to go to The Bronx to try their luck against The Yankees.
