| Tigers welcomed back their Ace Ryan Paylor who was out since week one with a dislocated thumb. Paylor pitched 4 innings striking out 7 of the 15 batters he faced and only gave up 2 hits, 1 walk and 0 earned runs. Alain Hernandez came in on relief and in 4 innings of work he also struck out 7 of the 18 batters he faced giving up 1 hit, 2 walks and 0 ER. At the plate the bats got going with the help of lead of man Jorge Castellanos who hit a double of the wall on the first pitch he saw. That was followed up by Tigers 3rd baseman Garvi Arias going 5-5 with 3 doubles, 2 RBI, and 3 runs scored. The onslaught did not stop there! Tigers pitcher Alain Hernandez helped himself out by going 4-5 with 1 HR, 2 Runs scored, 4 RBI's, and Tigers catcher Danger Villalobos followed that performance by going 3-4 with a 3 Run HR of his own, 1 Run scored and 4 RBI's. The Tigers will get ready to face the Palm Beach Angels in game with major playoff implications. The Tigers are hungry for this rematch after they fell to the Angels in their first meeting 11-12 in extra innings. Should be a good! |
