Article:For The Tigers, That's More Like It

A few notes on the Tigers 13-2 win at Cleveland Wednesday night, and a few other things as well:


 * The Tigers scored 30 runs  in their last three games  during which they went 3-0.
 * The Tigers scored 33 runs  in their first twelve games, during which they went 2-10.
 * The Tigers hit 7 home runs  in their first twelve games.
 * The Tigers hit 7 home runs  in their last three games.
 * Indians starter and loser C.C. Sabathia has now lost more games to Detroit (9) in his career than he's lost to any other team.
 * Sabathia, the 2007 Cy Young Award winner, is now 0-3 in 2008 with an ERA of 13.50.
 * Sabathia has allowed 9 earned runs  in back-to-back starts.
 * Sabathia is the first Cleveland pitcher in 100 years to win in double figures in each of his first seven years in the Majors.
 * The last Cleveland pitcher to win 10 or more in his first seven seasons was Addie Joss (1902-09).  Ever hear of Joss?  I can't tell you how to pronounce his name, but his career ERA of 1.89 (min 2000 IP) is second-best in AL history.
 * Detroit has caught Cleveland, the defending AL Central champions, in the division standings.  Each club is 5-10.
