In 4 1-3 innings, he allowed eight runs on seven hits -- among them Mark Teixeira's second three-run homer of the series -- and was consistently behind the Yankee hitters.
I don't think anyone expected him to throw seven innings of three-hit ball.
But today's pitching line was more than disappointing. He's the unknown quantity in the rotation; the newcomer who was out most of last season, signed to a one-year deal in the hope he still has some major-league years left.
One hundred and sixty games remain, but there remains the fear of falling too far back in the standings early, as the Tigers did in 2008 when many picked them to win the division, when they sank to the bottom and stayed there.
