Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

Tigers snap 5G losing streak w/ 7-5 win in the Bronx...6 early runs were key....Smyly was excellent again - 6IP, 1ER on 2H w/ 2BB/7K.

Tigers jumped all over F. Garcia - Dirks w/ 3-run HR in first, Boesch w/ RBI dbl, Cabrera 2-run single in 2nd...and Garcia was done for day

Staked to 6-1 lead - Smyly ran w/ it: gave up Swisher HR in 1st, then just 2BB thru next 5 inn., came out after A-Rod leadoff single in 7th.

Smyly needed just 93 pitches to go 6IP...he's now made 4 starts in ML, allowed 1R in ea. start...2ER in 12IP vs. Tex/NYY with 4BB/14K First Tigers pitcher in modern era since 1919 to start with those numbers.

Dirks had a heckuva day - the 3-run HR in 1st (2nd 3R HR of yr for #Tigers), plus 2 superb running catches on drives from Teixeira & Swisher.

Cabrera had 2-run single plus solo HR in 8th - now has 7HR and 19RBI in 21G. Valverde gave up 3R in 9th before finally getting final out.

April 29 in Tigers history:

1980: John Hiller sets a record when he pitches in his 539th game for the Tigers, His appearance breaks the previous record of 538 held by Hooks Dauss. Hiller retired at the end of the 1980 season with 545 games pitched, all of them with Detroit.

2010: Dontrelle Willis's comeback continues as he pitches his best game since joining the Detroit Tigers before the 2008 season. He gives up only 4 hits and no runs in 7 innings as Detroit blanks Minnesota, 3 - 0. He picks up his first win of the year - which is only his second for the Bengals. In the contest, Magglio Ordonez hits the 300th home run of his career, four years to the day after hitting number 200.

Delmon Young to undergo evaluation.
from espn

Delmon Young could be activated from the Tigers' restricted list by Tuesday or possibly even Monday night depending on the outcome of his evaluation by a counselor on Monday, Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski told reporters, including Chris Iott of MLive.com. If Young is judged to require treatment for anger management and/or alcohol abuse, however, he would be sidelined for an indeterminate amount of time.
