Game 130: Robertson Brilliant in Relief!
By Mike McClary in Featured, Game Recaps | 0 comments
The Score: Royals 7 – Tigers 3
The Gist: The Tigers got off to a fast start but the Royals decided not to lose their eighth straight on Sunday and scored seven unanswered runs off Tigers starter Kenny Rogers. Recently banished Nate Robertson pitched two-thirds of scoreless, hitless relief (huzzah!). Placido Polanco had three hits and two RBI and took a five-point edge over Magglio Ordonez for the team batting lead.
The Quote: “What should have been a good game for us turned into a not-so good game.” – Jim Leyland
The Stat: 8. The number of games under .500 that Rogers, Justin Verlander, Jeremy Bonderman and Robertson find themselves. In contrast, Armando Galarraga is eight games over. Ugliness.
Up Next: Indians @ Tigers:
- Monday: Armando Galarraga (12-4, 3.17) vs. Zach Jackson (0-0, 5.17)
- Tuesday: Chris Lambert (0-0, -.–) vs. Cliff Lee (18-2, 2.43)
