Grande's role as a closer is shrinking.

Awesome series, now don't overlook Cleveland let's keep the wins coming!

We really need to sweep the Cleveland call-ups.

gotta be the first win for JV in over a month>?

First win since August 6th iirc that 14 strikeout game vs. yankees.

Tigers Win 4-2, sweeping the ChiSox to claim a share of 1st in AL Central for the first time since July 25. Also clinches season series.

Seven straight wins for the Tigers over the WhiteSox. Haven't lost to Sale yet,

Nice weekend in CoPa. Hope they can beat the hell outta the tribe. Can't let up. Can we have a mulligan on the KC series though, that still really hurts.

The comment francona made in the 9th is spot on, he said if the trend continues the Sox will go home and win while the Tigers will stay here and lose to the tribe.

I needs to be different this time.

One thing that kinda went under the radar was that fact that Garcia has looked extremely comfortable so far. He's looked smooth in the field and hasn't looked overmatched at the plate. Just a couple games, but I'm impressed so far.

He's got that same inside out swing that Miggy does. He's got potential

The only thing I noticed is he seems to take a step in and then has had to back up on a few balls hit to him in RF.

Tigers P Justin Verlander on flap with AJ Pierzynski:
"No, it was after the 1-0 pitch, he yelled something, two words that I could not repeat ? either one of them. So I had some words back at him when he struck out."
