The Tigers start a series tomorrow with the Oakland A's. They are fresh coming off a nice 5-3 victory over the Rangers. Nate Robertson(2-2) got the start and pitched a gem going 7 2/3 innings, striking out 7, and giving up only 3 hits. Nate held the Rangers' 1-5 hitters to zero hits. Sanchez and Norton also had good games each hitting solo homers. Rondell White got out of his slump driving in 2 runs. Not only did the Tigers win the game but they also won the series 2 games to 1 over Texas. They are now 15-16 on the season.
Notes-Pudge and Rondell White each have 26 RBIs on the season, the most in A.L....Sanchez's homer was his second of the season....
