Pretty simple, wasn't it? Tigers bats came alive. They got home runs from Marcus Thames and Carlos Guillen. The bullpen pitched four scoreless innings. Add water, and you get a 7-2 win over the Red Sox, and can take solice in the fact that there's no chance they'll ever be 0-8. Now, maybe the Tigers will string together a 155 game win streak and finish 155-7?! Okay, that's a tad unrealistic, but this win feels like 20 wins, doesn't it? Brandon Inge added a 2-run single in the late innings. I expect the bats to come through on this team, so I don't want to talk about the hitting. I do want to talk about the pitching. Jeremy Bonderman couldn't get an out in the 6th inning last night. Once again, he wasn't even close to be dominating, only striking out two batters. Tigers MUST have their starters pitch into the 7th inning of games so the bullpen doesn't get exposed. Speaking of the bullpen, it was outstanding in this game. Bobby Seay is the unsung-hero in my humble opinion. He got some big outs in the middle innings. Seay was then relieved by Francis Beltran who was solid. Beltran gave way to Denny Bautista who proved why the Tigers named him their 8th inning guy before spring training broke in Lakeland. Todd Jones made things interesting in the 9th, but I'm gonna give him a 'hall-pass' for this outing because he hasn't had one single chance to pitch in that situation all season. I'm sure he had a few extra things rattling around in his dome, causing him to walk a few Red Sox batters. Bottom line, he got out of it and the Tigers won. Now, where can they go from here? Can this team begin stringing together some wins and hopefully get back to .500 by the end of April? Or, will the bats go silent again, and the starting pitching continue to not go deep enough into games? Let's hope it's the former, because the schedule from now through mid May is far from forgiving.
