Tigers 17 Indians 3

The Tigers started their 9 game homestand off great with a 17-3 whooping on the Indians. Bonderman(2-1) got the start . He pitched 5 strong innings and picked up the victory. The Tigers had a 4-3 lead when they exploded for their best inning of the year. In that incredible sixth inning the Tigers scored 11 runs, had 4 hits, 7 walks, and went through 15 batters. Brandon Inge had one his best games ever with 3 hits, 4 rbis, and his first career grand slam. Eric Munson also had a great game going 2-for-3, hit a HR,scored 4 runs, and had 4 RBIS. This was the best game the Tigers have played all year. They had their best hitting game all season and had one of their better defensive games as well. They need to keep swinging the bats but also pitch good like they did tonight. After Bonderman went out Yan came in and pitching 4 shutout innings to pick up the save. The Tigers are now 10-7 on season. Nate Robertson(1-0) gets the start tomorrow.
Notes-It took the Tigers 10 games to get 15 runs last season....The Tigers out hit the Indians 15-6....The Tigers had 10 walks tonight....The Tigers have scored the most runs in the American League this year....The Tigers' 17 runs were the most runs scored by a team in Comerica Park history for one game....Pudge added 3 rbis, in that incredible 6th inning, when he hit a double with the bases loaded....Inge was a double short of the cycle....
