Tough loss. Tigers' bats were cold other than the couple homers in the 2nd by Wharton and Greene. Pitching was fairly good other than the 3rd inning, but they gave up 7 walks. Have to wonder if the Tigers would have fared better at Doug Kingsmore. It's a nice park, but I for one am not for doing this again. 2 hours is too far for a home game. 

I'll have post-game interviews posted shortly.
