Game 5: D-Railed
By Mike McClary in Featured,Game Recaps | 2 comments
ESPN highlights available here.
The Gist: A wild Dontrelle Willis (seven walks in five innings) doesn’t give up a hit until the sixth, Zach Miner gives up one run in the same inning and takes the loss. Brandon Inge has all three RBI and is batting .375 so far. Oh, and the 0-5 Tigers remain the last winless team in the bigs.
The Quote: From the Chicago Sun-Times:
Manager Ozzie Guillen is giving Pierzynski a rest and starting Toby Hall
”[Hall's] got to get in there eventually,” Pierzynski said. ”I’ll be more than happy to let him have Dontrelle [Willis, the Tigers' starter today].
Hall went 0-4 on Saturday.
The Stat: 368. That’s the distance of Jermaine Dye‘s home run off freshly promoted reliever Francis Beltran.

Who knew my tickets to Game 6 might allow me to see not only the first night game of the season but also, perhaps, the first win?

I was at the DTrain game and I thought he was going to hit the bull (I mean Paws the mascot)
