Yes, and Rogers set up that rally by giving up a double to Tolbert in
the seventh, then Miner and Seay came it and slammed the door shut
on the Tigers (after the hilarious Guillen throwing error...the entire dome
was laughing out loud).
Not a very good start for Rogers beyond the third inning, IMO.
I know, I was at that game.
The Tigers offense put up six runs, but the Tigers pitching gave up
seven. Same old story.

Neither are what anyone could consider as "quality" starts. The start
against the Yankees wasn't horrible, but it certainly wasn't good, either.
Should be interesting to see how he does tonight against the Yankees.
I'm guessing he'll go six innings and give up at least 3 or 4 runs and a
few walks. The question is, will the Tigers be able to score more runs
than Rogers and the Pen give up?
