How can you walk the ninth place hitter who's hitting .097? With two out?
Taylor Teagarden, the Tiger crusher, was the guy, in this afternoon's second inning. With the inning thus extended and the lineup turned over, Nick Markakia and J.J. Hardy followed with two-run doubles, erasing 80 percent of Doug Fister's 5-0 lead.
In the fourth, Nate McLouth tripled in Markakis and Hardy, who had reached base via -- yes, that's right -- walks, and the very beatable lately Pretenders were as good as beaten. (Final: Them 7, Us 5.)
It was Fister's worst outing as a Tiger (Pretender): 3.2 innings, eight hits, seven runs. Also the second game in a row in which he's allowed four runs in one inning.
