Tigers Edge Royals 3-2

Runelvys Hernandez had another good start tonight, this time going 6.2 innings and giving up 3 earned runs and only one walk. Unfortunately, the bats were silent. Again. We put up a bit of a fight in the ninth inning against Todd Jones, scoring two runs, but we came up one short and we lost 3-2.

Jeremy Bonderman was tough on us again tonight. He didn't give up any earned runs in 8.0 innings. He seems to get better every time we see him. His slider was diving and he ended up striking out nine guys.

Sweeney pulled up lame running down the first base line on a grounder and you've got to be concerned about that—especially given his already sore back after crumpling to the ground in a heap the other night on a pitch that was up and in.

Tomorrow, the Royals send Mark Redman (0-1, 7.82) against Mike Maroth (3-1, 1.85).
