Ryan Raburn went 4-for-5 with 7 RBI last night to help lift the Tigers to a 13-9 win over the Chisox. Raburn, 26, wasn’t the only hot bat, either. Mike Rabelo and Brandon Inge both had 3 hits while Curtis Granderson had 2 knocks and 3 runs.In 2004, Raburn, a second baseman/outfielder, was among the Tigs’ top 10 prospects according to Baseball America after batting .301/.390/.533 in 366 AB at Double-A Erie. After two consecutive seasons at Triple-A Toledo he barely cracked the top 30. He hit .275/.352/.490 last year, a marked improvement from his .253/.323/.437 in 2005.
A little more on Granderson: Since the All-Star break he’s batting .431/.491/.745 with 5 doubles, 1 triple, 3 HR and 8 RBI in 51 AB.
Good to see Detroit rally last night for a win, especially after a brutal loss the previous night (blowing a 7-run lead and wasting a solid start by Virgil Vasquez.
