Miguel Cabrera goes deep into the right-center for a mammoth opposite field shot. Impressive power. I could riff on that for a while....but suffice it to say, that guy is good and I'm glad he's on our side.
Brandon Inge has been a doubles maching this year and he indeed banged out his 9th tonight. But it was his two homers that played a key role in the outcome...both homers extended a lead and really put the club in good position to win.
A few words on Jeremy Bonderman....I thought he was good. He had allowed two runs through 5 IP and then retired the first two batters in the 6th. However he ran into trouble from there when Hamilton and Vlad both singled and then David Murphy ripped a two-run double. No matter...tonight's start was pretty solid for Bonderman despite allowing 4 ER over 5.2 IP. He had good command and generated more groundball than he had been. This is a start he can build off going forward.
Bring on those Twins....they are resting in Detroit tonight while the Tigers fly home tonight...but that's okay, its a big series and I think they'll be ready to rumble this week.
