How low can it go?

The Tigers ERA is now at 3.09. Only six pitchers in the AL have a lower ERA (and, of course, two are Tigers). I wonder when was the last time a staff had an ERA this low this far into the season?

Jeff Weaver, the former Detroiter, pitches tonight for the Angels in Comerica. He will face the rejuvenated Nate Robertson, who has not allowed a run in his last 14 IP over two starts. He’s given up seven hits and struck out 11.

Craig Monroe over his last 10 games is hitting .351 with 4 HR and 8 RBI. He has scored 9 runs. Marcus Thames has 7 hits in his last 10 at-bats. Brandon Inge homered last night to end a 15-game drought. Seems like, as is the case with most good teams, someone different is stepping up regularly.
