The Tigers lost a tough last night against the Oakland A's in 15 innings. Jason Johnson got the start and had a rough outing going only 5+ innings and giving up 10 hits and 4 runs. Even though the Tigers lost,their bullpen looked great going 10 innings and only giving up 1 run. Unfortunately that one run was the game winner in the top of the 15th inning. Detroit is now 15-17 on the season and has missed 2 chances to get back to playing 500 ball. Game 2 of this mini series is tomorrow. Bonderman(3-1) goes up against Rich Harden(1-2).
