Game 23: At Last, A Sweep

The Gist: Magglio Ordonez goes deep twice, Jeremy Bonderman continues to frustrate and Jacque Jones is added to the injury list, yet the Tigers finally reach double digits in wins, defeating the Rangers 8-2. What else?
- Curtis Granderson led off the Tigers half of the first with a home run
- Zach Miner continues his Jekyll and Hyde act with a solid 3.1 hitless innings pitched, one walk and three strikeouts
- Ryan Raburn sort of slammed his first homer of the year (replays show that it could very well have been touched by a fan in right)
- Placido Polanco returns but still struggles at the plate, going 0 for 3 with a walk. He's hitting .140 on the year.
The Quote: "I felt like I owed the starters at least one game like that." -- Zach Miner
The Stat: 111. The number of pitches thrown by Bonderman in a mere 4.1 innings pitched.
Up Next: Angels at Tigers
Nate Robertson (0-2, 7.48) vs. Ervin Santana (3-0, 2.67)

4.2 IP for Bonderman.
It was an especially weird outing because he also had 7 strikeouts.

All hair metal references are welcome!
In my house, anyway.
