Game 87 vs. KC

Bruce Chen was no different today. The touch-and-feel lefty struggled mightily against the Tigers. He was finally pulled in the 5th, after he loaded the bases multiple times and once walked in a run.

JJ Hardy had another triple; he is now tied for the league's lead. Ian Kinsler homered twice; one was of the inside-the-park variety.

So, the Tigers got their groove back heading into the All-Star break.

Rumor has it that there will be some moves made before the All-Star game.
