Edwin Jackson Dominates, Tigers Middle Relief Stinks

Edwin Jackson pitched 6 innings of scoreless ball against the New York Yankees on Tuesday night, but he still came away with a no decision as the Tigers lost 11-0. 10 of those runs came in the top of the 7th inning, when a combination of Tigers relief pitchers entered and then exited the game as the Yankees circled the bases. The kicker was a grand slam home run surrendered to Yankees backup catcher Jose Molina, subbing for Jorge Posada on the night because Posada runs like my disabled grandmother… after she’s been hit by a bus.

Placido Polanco had the highlight night for Tigers hitters, going 1 for 4 with a double. Yeah, that was really the best performance we had last night. Brandon Inge was 0 for 2 with a walk, which I guess means he did better than the average Tiger hitter. He’s carried the team thus far this season, I think the least we can do is name part of the stadium after him. Comerica Inge just has such a nice ring to it.
