Peralta And Fister, And You Know Who

Jhonny Peralta, 0 for his last 17, homered twice to drive in all four Tiger runs.  Doug Fister quieted the major leagues' top offense, holding the Jays to one run on seven hits over eight. Another fine start by the tall right-hander, and exactly when the Tigers needed it; to end a three game losing streak and send them to Boss Town on a positive note.

Speaking of the Red Stockings, and Monday the 30th: unless Rugburn goes 4 for 4 tomorrow night, I LOSE Maggie's R Off The Interstate pool. A double for four today leaves him on I-73, and the promised and much anticipated Raburn late-season outburst now resembles a mirage shimmering in the summer heat.
