Six Run Fifth / Tribe Loses

With two outs and bases empty: single, double, sac fly, homer (Cabrera), double, single, homer (Carlos Guillen). 

All that was needed to put away the Oakland Anonymites.Final: 8-3 Tigers.

Their starting pitchers, except for tonight,  have been great, but the starting nine is a collection of veterans whose day has passed, and young players who've been future stars for too long.

The Hinge Watch: 0 for 4, one strikeout, .177, twelve days until the trading deadline. 

-------------------------------------------------------

At Target Field, the Twins got two in the ninth and beat the Indians 2-1, dropping them back into a virtual tie for first with the Tigers.

The Tribe ran out of outfielders and put infielder Luis Valbuena in left. With the bases loaded, Danny Valencia hit a soft fly his way. The video indicates it was catchable, but he let it drop. No one knows why, but the loss is in the books.  

If the Indians lose the division by one game, July 19 could be the night they lost it.
