Cabrera Walks Off

Game 67 vs. COL

This was an amazing win for the Tigers. I actually credit this win to me watching Moneyball a couple of days ago.

We are an aggresive team. We don't take a lot of pitches. We typically don't walk. It is late June and our team leader in walks only has 10 on the season. We don't strike out a lot, either. We just make too many quick contact outs.

However, today we made Jeremy Guthrie throw 100 pitches. He went almost 8 innings, but it's still an improvement for us. We've seen guys throw fewer innings and complete the game.

This game had 4 lead changes. That doesn't sound like many, but only 9 runs were scored between the teams.

Carlos Gonzalez was a homer short of the cycle for the Rockies. He also had all 4 of their RBI.

Miguel Cabrera only had 2 RBI, but they were the most important. He tied it with a sac fly, but won it with a walkoff HR.
