Rangers 7, Tigers 1. [Boxscore]

Summary: Tigers embarrass themselves on National TV... again.

Pitching: Scherzer struggled tonight, working 6 innings and giving up 4 runs (1 HR) on 8 hits and 2 walks while punching out 6. This marks his 19th straight game of 6+ strikeouts. By taking the loss, his record goes to 13-1, 3.19 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, with 152 K's in 129.2 IP.

Putkonen started the 7th, and after one out, he ran into trouble by giving up 2 straight singles. The left-handed hitting Pierzynski was up next, so Skipper yanked him rather than risk things getting out of hand. His record stands at 1-1, 2.66 ERA, 1.28 WHIP.

Coke came in, and he promptly got Pierzynski to ground into a double play, ending that threat. He tossed an additional inning after that, and to everyone's relief, performed splendidly, giving up nothing and punching out one Ranger. Record: 0-5, 5.83 ERA, 1.50 WHIP.

Alburquerque took over for the 9th, and he was a disaster. Walk, SB, run-scoring infield single, and a 2-run HR. His record: 1-2, 5.18 ERA, 1.89 WHIP.

Wish they would get some competent help in the BP, just to send Coke and Alburquerque to Toledo where they bloody well belong.

Offense: A whole lotta nothing happened, as Texas pitchers showed their quality, limiting the Cats to 1 run on 6 hits and 5 walks.

The best-hitting Tiger was Hunter, who was 2-4 (.312) with 2 singles. Peralta had a SB (3), and Martinez had his 14-game hitting streak snapped.

The team was 1-6 with RISP, and left 8 on base.

Next game: Sunday, Texas (54-40, 27-21 away) @ Detroit (51-42, 28-19 home), 1:08 Eastern. TV: FS-D, TBS. Radio: 97.1 The Ticket. Last game until Friday due to the ASB.

Projected starters: Perez (3-1, 2.08) vs. Verlander (9-6, 3.71)
