The hits just keep coming in Motown. Five Tigers had multi-hit games last night, including Craig Monroe, Omar Infante and Brandon Inge. Detroit will be very tough to beat if that type of hitting continues at the bottom of the order. They drove in 7 and scored 4 times.
Infante is developing into a super sub. Last night he played in CF for Curtis Granderson. He's just 25 and it might be time for Jim Leyland to find him more at-bats. I have a feeling he could see more action in CF when the Tigs faces lefties (sitting Granderson). The previous two seasons he got a total 630 AB and hit 13 HR with 68 RBI. Not too shabby.
Magglio Ordonez hit 2 doubles and now has an AL-best 18. His 1.056 OPS is fourth in AL. Carlos Guillen (.914) and Granderson (.892) rank 13th and 14th, respectively.
Monroe and Maggs also made diving catches in the 9th last night to help preserve the win. The Tigers have scored at least 7 runs in 4 of last 8.
Jeremy Bonderman gave up 3 runs in the first inning last night. He's got a 15.43 ERA in the first innings of games this season and 1.18 ERA the rest of the way.
