Swinging

Detroit pounded Jered Weaver in a 9-5 win last night. Curtis Granderson hit Weaver's first pitch for a home run, and the rout was on. Gary Sheffield got his stroke going with a 2-for-4 effort that included two runs, an RBI and a walk. Surprisingly, the only Tiger among the top six in the lineup not to have a multi-hit game was Placido Polanco, who was hitless. Granderson, Sheff, Maggs, Guillen and Pudge all came through. Casey, Monroe and Inge went 0-for-11 at the bottom of the lineup as their woes continue.

Mike Maroth could only go 4.2 innings as he struggled with his control. He gave up 5 walks and 7 hits while yielding three runs (two earned) on 105 pitches. Jason Grilli got the win with 2.1 innings of no-hit relief.
