They Can Do It Against the American League, Too

Well the Tigers did very well in interleague play, and they won their last six straight series.  My thought was that they need to do the same thing against their American League foes, especially those in their own division. 

Tonight they had a good come from behind win.  In the seventh inning, Placido Polanco and Carlos Guillen each had RBI singles to bring the Tigers within 1 run of the Twins.  In the eighth Matt Joyce delivered a game tying RBI triple, and Curtis Granderson followed with a RBI single to give the Tigers a 5-4 lead they would not relinquish. 

Casey Fossum came on in the seventh inning and gave up 1 hit and struck out 1 to get his first win of the year, and Joel Zumaya pitched the last 1 2/3 to get his first save of the year.  He did give up three hits, and the Tigers committed three errors, but we’ll take the win.
