Game 20: Armando Does It Again

The Gist: While he wasn't as sharp as his Tigers debut in Cleveland last week, Armando Galarraga gave the Tigers another solid outing in the finale at SkyDome -- or whatever -- 5-1, to earn a split against the Blue Jays. The bullpen was superb though Todd Jones allowed a ninth-inning home run, of course, to spoil the shutout. Ryan Raburn knocked in two runs in the Tigers' three-run second, and Edgar Renteria hit another homer, a solo shot in the sixth.

The Quote: "If we were really going good like we thought we would be at this time and went to Cleveland and Toronto and came home [3-3], we'd be pretty happy. But with our record the way it is, it doesn't look too good." -- Jim Leyland, in the Tigers.com game story.

The Stat: .667 - Pudge Rodriguez's average in the four-gamer in Toronto. Here's his line: Friday, 3 for 3; Saturday: 3 for 3; Sunday: 0 for 4; Today: 4 for 5. And what do you know? Pudge is now hitting .271 for the season.

Up Next: Rangers at Tigers Justin Verlander (0-3, 7.03) vs. Vicente Padilla (2-1, 3.12)
