Tigers 5, Orioles 3: Prince Fielder came in hitting .309/20/84, ranked 4th in OBP and RBI. Yet he didn?t have a signature game as a Tiger; his highest WPA game was 0.369 (tiebreaking single in the 7th on April 18), a mark he?d topped 20 times as a Brewer. But he stamped his royal signet all over this one: throwing out a runner at home on a tough play in the 1st; tying the game in the 6th on a 2-run bomb to CF; and matching that with a go-ahead rainmaker against fresh-for-the-occasion lefty J.C. Romero.
Tigers & O?s now tied for a wild-card berth. Feels like old times to this Tigers fan.
It?s a long, strange trip that brought Romero to this moment: Released by 3 teams last year (1.74 WHIP) and by the Cards this May (10.13 ERA), he signed with Baltimore later that month, but was released in July without ever pitching for the O?s. Cleveland snapped him up and stashed him at AAA, where he had a 3.12 ERA but allowed 3 HRs in 8.2 IP. Baltimore just had to have him back after that, so on Monday they shipped a non-prospect to Cleveland. They slipped Romero into two low-lev moments in the BoSox series, where he allowed 2 hits and a run in 1.2 IP. And then came Prince.
Sure, I understand that advertising makes it possible for me to watch video clips for free on MLB.com. But what marketing wiz decided that I?d be more likely to buy Head & Shoulders For Men if I had to watch the same damn 15-second commercial before every single clip? (And by the way, what agent thought that was a good career move for Joe Mauer? ?Hey, Joe! Can we talk??, indeed!)

My question regarding Al Kaline's homeruns by inning;

Kaline hit 7 HR in extras in 207 AB.
Kaline's best inning was the 1st with 74 homeruns in 1808 AB, followed by the 3rd (61/1240) and 6th (52/1174).

Prince Fielder has been a bit of a disappointment this season, as the move to Detroit has resulted in a drop in his power, but last night Fielder went yard twice in the Tigers win over the Orioles. Fielder went 2-4 with 2 HRs and 4 RBI last night, moving his season slash line to .311-.404-.521 with 22 HRs, 65 runs and 88 RBI. As he has aged, his plate discipline has improved, as he is walking more than he has struck out this season, walking 60 times and K'ing just 57 times.
