The Tigers didn't play today so I want to talk about their improving pitching staff. In the last 7 games the Tigers have allowed only 19 runs. In that span they won 4 games and lost 3. They were scoring a lot of runs earlier in the season but they weren't pitching good. Now that it looks like they are starting to pitch better,their hitting needs to pick it up a bit if they want to get over 500 and stay there. The Tigers start a road series tomorrow with the Oakland A's. Bonderman(3-2) goes up against Rich Harden(2-2) in tomorrow's game at 10:05 p.m. eastern time.
