The Tigers received some sad news Thursday about a former Tiger. Ben Petrick was forced to retire after his 4 year battle with Parkinson's Disease. He played with Detroit last year and was brought over for Adam Bernero. In the 43 games he played for the Tigers, he hit .225 with four homers and 12 RBIs. This year he was playing for San Diego's Triple-A club in Portland, Oregon. It is sad when a guy has to retire because of a desease. We hope that he gets better from this disease as quick as possible.
Game Notes-The Tigers lost again yesterday against the Oakland A's. Oakland barely beat them 3-2. Tim Hudson got the start and looked good to pick up the victory. The Tigers got 10 hits off Hudson but they couldn't capitalize enough. They are now 19-21 on the season.
