* I took away the managers choice here with CF Julio Pablo Martinez coming off the DL, I immediately optioned RF Myles Straw to AAA and activated CF Martinez. I know I didn't make any friends with this move, but I wanted to jump start this offense, which didn't happen either!

I've posted twice this week that you don't win MLB games with only five hits, or four hits, but apparently you CAN win with three hits! SP Rodon was magnificent and CL Hamilton slammed the door for the save!

Pitching Report - SP Carlos Rodon (8 IP, 4H, 1ER, 0BB, 8K's, HRA) scattered four hits, giving up only one run on the Tigers C Rogers solo blast in the bottom of the third. CL Ian Hamilton (1 IP, 0H, 0R, 1BB, 2K's) got his fourteenth save of the season.

Batting Report - Two runs on three hits is an incredible winning line. After Detroit's go ahead homer, RF Ramon Laureano (1/4, HR, 1R, 1RBI) and DH JD Martinez (1/4, HR, 1R, 1RBI) hit back to back home runs in the top of the fourth to go ahead 2 - 1 and that lead stood up. Ironically both RF Laureano and DH Martinez had the same exact line scores, down to striking out in their other three at-bats
