Early Scoring Fuels Tigers' Win

Game 35 @ OAK

The Tigers scored all of their runs in the first 2 innings. They erupted for 6 in the first off of Bartolo Colon. That was the only inning that he pitched. All 9 batters made it to the plate in the first inning.

Reliever Brad Peacock was the unsung hero for the Athletics. He pitched long relief for Colon, 8 innings of 1 run ball. He likely saved their bullpen for days to come.

On the other hand, Jordan Zimmermann (W, 5 IP) had a lot of help from the Tigers bullpen. Ricky Romero made yet another appearance out of the bullpen along with: Doug Fister, Scott Downs (2 errors), and Collin Balester (a call-up).

The Tigers handily won the series 3-1, and they now move on to Chicago for a 2 game set.
