Nate Robertson got shelled last night in Texas, failing to get an out. This is of great concern because Nate was able to scuffle through poor outings in the past, and now seems unable. His last 6 starts have resulted in a 1-5 record and 9.12 ERA. He’s given up 50 hits (including 7 HR) and 12 walks in 25.2 IP. Ouch.
Amazingly, Nate’s ERA during the span ranks only 8th worse among pitchers with at least 10 IP. (This goes back to May 9.) Here are those who make Nate feel better:
Levale Speigner (WSH) 0-2, 14.06 ERA
Matt Albers (HOU) 0-3, 11.68
Ramon Ortiz (MIN) 0-2, 10.80
Robinson Tejeda (TEX) 1-4, 10.62
Nicholas Masset (CHA) 1-1, 10.45
Rick White (HOU) 0-0, 10.22
Kelvin Jimenez (STL) 0-0, 9.82
Unfortunately, the Tigers will miss Tejeda and Vicente Padilla (1-4, 9.00 in his last 5 starts) during this trip to Texas.
In other news, Kenny Rogers threw 2 innings in a simulated game and reported all went well. Meanwhile, former Tigs reliever Troy Percival will toss for scouts as he attempts a comeback. Detroit will be among those watching the workout. The Phillies, too, will be there.
