The Tigers have been doing not just with the reigning Back to Back AL M.V.P. Miggy Cabrera (.316 avg 7 HR 39 RBI) but the man behind "Miggy"DH Victor Martinez (.331 avg 10 HR 25 RBI) as Pitchers are finding nowhere to pitch around this current Tigers Line Up. Throw in the ageless OF Torii Hunter (.304 avg 5 HR 23 RBI 20 R) and 2014 Prince Fielder Trade Pick Up Second Baseman Ian Kinsler (.315 avg 4 HR 20 RBI 29 R) in front of "Miggy" and V-Mart the Tigers are super-explosive even more explosive then years past.
The Rotation well we know all about Justin Verlander (5-2 W-L 3.15 ERA 47 SO) and Mad Max Scherzer (6-1 W-L 1.83 ERA 73 SO) but its been the consistency of Ricky Porcello (7-1 W-L 2.91 ERA) that has been playing the 3rd wheel but the leading wheel. Now they get Anibal Sanchez back off the DL as he won tonight vs the Carmines going five innings and giving up just two runs. Captain Save-A-Game Joe Nathan has been better than what they have had in the last few years as the Tigers achilles heel has been the Pen and a solid Closer. Nathan is 2-0 with 1 Saves in 13 Save Opportunities along with hitters hitting .190 against him.Now Detroit Hardball with this impressive East Coast Showing doubles back for three at the "Jake" vs the Tribe before heading home. The Motel Swing is already at 6-0 and if the make it 9-0 they would be 30-12 and they already have a seven games lead on the 2nd place Royals in the Central.
It's really early but Detroit Hardball vs Oakland Hardball would be quite the series again as the Tigers won in 2013 in the ALDS.
