Needed to get this series started off with a win.

When I saw the teams in this 9-game stretch that started last week, I said 6-3 was acceptable, but really hoped for 7 or more wins. Gonna need a sweep to get the 7.

F-Rod got career save #423 tonight, passing Billy Wagner and putting him in sole possession of 5th place on the all-time list. His next save will tie him with John Franco for 4th place.

They won .. I thought they were going to lose again. I hope September treats the Tigers good better than August did...

DETROIT -- When Cameron Maybin's tender left thumb was crushed between the infield dirt and a second baseman's knee, the Detroit Tigers in the dugout winced in pain along with their center fielder. "The first injury hurts. The second one, in the s...
As playoff race heats up, Tigers hope Cameron Maybin won't be out for long

PROBABLE STARTING PITCHERS
Detroit Tigers
LH Daniel Norris (2-2, 3.63 ERA)



Chicago White Sox
RH Anthony Ranaudo (1-1, 9.61 ERA)

Daniel Norris got the win his last time out, allowing two runs in 6.1 innings against Minnesota. It was his longest outing of the season.

--This will be Anthony Ranaudo's first career start against the Tigers. He has faced them only once before, throwing 2.1 innings of relief early this season when he was with the Texas Rangers.

I was thinking the same. Three weaker teams...at least 6-3. With their up-down offense.....6-3 would be fine.

I can't believe Maybin is hurt again. The guy is an injury magnet. Now they fill in with a couple of guys with BA's that are about 100 points lower than his.

There's no again. He's been hurt all along.

Since he returned from the DL he's dodged out on every question about his thumb. That I've seen and heard. Pretty sure he's hust putting off season ending surgery. Till the season ends.

Which will be after Game 162 if he's out again.

Hardy, who is in his fourth stint with the Tigers this season, has pitched in 32 games with the Mud Hens and has a 1-0 record with one save and a 1.72 ERA.To create room for Jones and Hardy on the 25-man roster, the Tigers optioned infielder Casey McGehee and left-handed pitcher Matt Boyd to Toledo.

Boyd caught me off Gaurd.

Guess he wasn't pitching again for five days anyway.

Hopefully Jones shows some promise up here. Weird that they burned a year by not waiting a couple of days.

Kinda looks like Moya is at the bottom of the totem pole....

Sounded like they wanted him up in August as insurance for Nick and Maybin, can play either position and hopefully both better than Collins and McGehee respectively. If they waited until Sept, the way I took it, he wouldn't have been eligible for the post season roster, if they make it.

Just caught me off Gaurd burning the year of control, for one day on the roster.

But if he can help In the playoffs, worth it. It is nice that Mr. I covets winning over pinching pennies.

DETROIT -- An MRI on Cameron Maybin's beat-up left thumb revealed no serious issues, meaning he could be back in the Detroit Tigers lineup soon.

Manager Brad Ausmus said Maybin would likely sit out on Wednesday, but could return to action on Friday when the Tigers open a series at Kansas City.


"It's just a matter of letting the contusion heal," Ausmus said.
