KEY THOUGHTS

I'm sick of blogging about the Tigers this week. You can share your thoughts instead.

OK two thoughts first. Rick Porcello had a nice game for sure and deserved to win. And the Tigers' bullpen had its best performance of the season and didn't deserve to lose.

Otherwise, same plot, different day.
