PREGAME: The Tigers look to cap their only July homestand on a high note. Today’s match-up is Nate Robertson taking on Esteban Loaiza.
Loaiza, while not pitching horribly, hasn’t had a quality start since June 15th. Let’s hope he doesn’t find his legs today.
Nate was touched up for a couple of homers in his last start against the White Sox. At times he looked fantastic, and at other times there were rockets coming off the White Sox bat in his last start.
Game Time 1:05pm
What happened to Polanco?
Hit in the head on a bunt, around the bottom of the earflap. He wanted to stay in. May have a bit of a bruise tomorrow but I’m guessing he’s fine. Looks like the team made Loiaza pay for it.
They said X-Rays were negitive. He accually got hit in the jaw. I hit the bottom of the earflap and deflected down.
Glad to see Robertson posted his ninth win today.
Now for some real trade deadline intrigue:
