Austin Jackson had another 3-hit day today.  Yesterday, he had three more hits than the entire Blue Jay team, but it went unnoticed as Justin Verlander pitched a no-hitter.  Today, Jackson's hits were hard to ignore.  Especially his two-run homer to give Detroit the lead 4-2 in the 7th inning.

Justin Verlander had all of his pitches working today.  The Tigers scored runs early and often, and the defense made some plays to help him to his second career no-hitter, just the 7th in Tiger history.  It was almost a perfect game

The Tigers had a good thing going when they beat the Yankees 3 straight times to wrap up a home stand at Comerica Park.  Winning on the road has been a problem in recent history for this team

The Tigers were trailing most of the way in this one against New York's A.J. Burnett.  Detroit didn't even have a hit until the 6th inning.

Max Scherzer pitched 8 shutout innings and got some offensive help from Magglio Ordonez as the Tigers blanked the Yankees 4-0.  The win is the second straight for the Tigers, after suffering through a 7 game losing streak.

Some of the players responsible for prolonging the Tiger 7-game losing streak finally helped to end it.  Austin Jackson, Magglio Ordonez and Jose Valverde all made contributions in the 4-2 Tiger win over New York tonight at Comerica Park.

Justin Verlander didn't have his best command.  But he pitched a gutsy 6 innings and only allowed 3 runs to the Yankees while striking out 8.  He was still throwing 99 and 100 mph, 130 pitches into the game.

Tiger manager Jim Leyland said after today's 5-4 loss to Cleveland, "We're just not doing enough things to win."  No kidding.  The Tigers had a 2-0 lead in the early going and gave it back an inning later.  They took a 3-2 lead in the top of the 8th before

This was a close game.  A pitcher's duel.  It took 13 innings, but the outcome was still a bitter one for Tiger fans as Cleveland wins in walkoff fashion again, this time 3-2.

The Tigers losing streak is now at four games, and this one was the ugliest as they fell to Cleveland 9-5.  Carlos Santana hit a walk-off grand slam off Tiger set-up reliever Joquin Benoit to put the exclamation point on Detroit's latest defeat.

The Detroit Tigers had a winning record when Seattle came to town three days ago.  After failing in three attempts to defend thier home turf against the Mariners, the Tabbies find themselves a game under .500

The Seattle Mariners were one of the weakest hitting teams in baseball.  Until they came to Detroit, that is.  After thumping the Tigers 7-3 Tuesday, Seattle Smoaked the Motor City Kitties 10-1 tonight.  Justin Verlander gave up a 3-run homer to
