Each starter had at least one hit. Twenty-one total, as the Lions put away the Bears 14-4 in Week One of the Major League Football season. Their tenth straight win, and it's hard to believe that they haven't won that many in a row since 1968 (eleven, from September 9 to 21).
Peralta and Raburn homered. Seven singles, a hit batter, and a two-run double by Ramon Santiago produced six runs in the sixth inning.
Raburn finished the night a triple short of the cycle. Governor Inge went 3 for 5 to boost his average over the Mendoza Line (.204). As your baseball blogger writes, The Draft Inge For President 2012 Committee is printing flyers and making signs.
The Tigers' division lead is 11.5 games, but they're still in a pennant race of sorts. Post season qualifiers with the first, and second, highest winning percentages have home-field advantage, and the Tigers are two games ahead of the Texas Rangers for the second spot. (MLB being always able to come up with more rewards for finishing the season second best in something.)
