The Detroit Tigers have way bigger fish to fry it just so happened the Amazins' were on the schedule through 162 game trek and unfortunately for them..in the way. The Tigers outscore the Mets 20-4 in the three-game set and Miggy Cabrera and that Tigers Line Up did some serious damage today.

Behind a Tigers RHP Rick Porcello's seven innings of work allowing three runs on four hits as one hit left the premises the Tigers rolled to a 11-3 "Get Away" Day "W" as they continue to put pressure on the 2nd place in the AL Central Tribe of C-Town. The Tigers put just four runs on Mets Starter Dillon Gee but it was the 9th frame where things went haywire for the Mets.

The Tigers put up a crooked seven in that frame as the game was a tight one at 4-3 entering the 9th. It was Mets Reliever LaTroy Hawkins who was lit up as he pitched 1/3 of an inning allowing five runs on four hits before the Tigers chased him to the showers. Tigers Hot Corner and reigning AL Triple Crown Winner Miggy Cabrera led then onslaught with a two-run bomb in the first as he went 3 for 4 scoring two and knocking in two. Tigers LF Andy Dirks led the Tigers with three ribbies including a Solo Bomb in the 6th off  Gee.

The Tigers now leave NYC with a six game lead as the Tribe beat the Twinkies. They also sat right in the heap for the AL's Best Record as the Rangers, Red Sox, Rays, and Tigers are all at the top locked up for the Junior Circuit's Best W-L.
