The big hitter for the Tigers was Marcus Thames who tripled, hit his 22nd homer of the year and drove in 3 runs. Defensively, the Tigers were sloppy as Rogers, Brandon Inge and Magglio Ordonez made errors among other various misplays on the night. The pitchers worked through it though and the Tigers had their Major League leading 14th shutout of the season.
The Twins also lost tonight 6-3 to the Orioles so the Tigers gained some more breathing room in the AL Central:
