TALK OF THE TOWN ON THE 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY: TIGERS WIN IN 14 TO IMPROVE WINNING STREAK TO 11 GAMES

Tigers at Indians

The Tigers riding a 10-game win streak coming into this game. We’ll see if Indians rookie pitcher Danny Salazar can snap that…You’ve never heard him? Well i’ll let you in on it. Salazar was signed by the Indians when he was 16 (in 2006). He had a 3.10 ERA in 7 seasons in the minors. Yesterday was his 2nd career start, and he took a n0-no into the 6th inning in his 1st career start. Let’s start Top 8th, 3-2 Cleveland, Detroit batting, 1st pitch of the at-bat, it’s a 96 MPH fastball that Miguel Cabrera jacks 427 feet, a 2-run shot to put the Tigers up 4-3! Let’s skip ahead to the Top of the 14th, and Prince Fielder hits a double into deep left center, 2 runs score and the Tigers are up 6-4, but can the Indians come back? Bottom 14th, 6-5 Tigers, 2 strikes, 2 outs, Joaquin Benoit pitching for the Tigers and he strikes out Drew Stubbs to end the game and the Tigers win 6-5!
