Two Game Split at Jacobs Field

The two worst teams in baseball (for the past two weeks) squared off during the last two nights. The Tigers won on Tuesday by attacking Joe Borowski in the 10th inning, 6-2. The Tigers returned the game on Wednesday by only managing 2 runs in 5-2 loss to Cleveland. The teams remain tied for first in the A.L. Central despite the Tribe being swept by the Yankees in a three game sold-out series at Jacobs Field over the weekend.

Grady Sizemore did not bat in the lead off spot for the first time since May of 2005. His first at-bat (in the three spot) resulted in a 2 run home run, his 20th this year. He joins Joe Carter, Roberto Alomar, and Bobby Bonds as the only Indians with 20 HRs and 25 steals in the same season.

C.C. Sabathia (14-6) pitched well on Tuesday (no decision). Fausto Carmona (14-7) got the win on Wednesday.

Next week, the two teams play a three game series at Comerica Park.
