Tigers 7 Blue Jays 3

The Tigers won again tonight against the Bluejays 7-3. They have started the season great and are now 2-0. The victory came with a big price. Dimitri Young sprained a leg bone while sliding into second base. He will be out 6 weeks. Now other Tigers will have to step up in his absence. Even with Young's injury it was still a great game for the Tigers. Tigers' starter Mike Maroth had a good game as he picked up the victory. He pitched 5 innings and allowed 3 earned runs. It took him 9 starts last year to win his first game. Nate R. pitched great in Maroth's relief. He pitched 4 relief innings, had 7 strikeouts(4 straight to end the game), and only allowed one hit. Pudge continued his hot streak going 2-5 with 2 doubles and 2 rbi's. Carlos Guillen had 2 hits that included a solo homerun. Vina also played well again getting 2 more hits. For the second straight game the Tigers didn't have any errors. They have played great these first 2 games of the season. I hope these 2 early victories are signs of what is to come for the rest of the season.
