Another clutch hit by Sheffield -- a ninth-inning, game-tying home run -- and the Tigers take two of three from the Cards. It's a series victory, and these are good signs. They're two under, with Colorado coming to Comerica tonight. Rookie right-hander Eddie Bonine gets his second start, and I'm eager to see how he'll fare.
The Tigers have been able to find some pitching in the minors, and that has surprised me. But even more surprising, is their ability to turn this thing around. It's not a total turnaround, because they could -- and might -- hover around .500 for some time.
But Sheffield hitting two nights in a row is a good sign. While there's much I dislike about him, he always has been able to hit. If he can get hot for about a month, six weeks, then it would really give the Tigers a presence a little lower in the lineup. If he hits, this group could start scoring runs in bunches.
We'll see. But right now, it's kind of neat to see them win some tight games.
