It's been smooth sailing for the Detroit Tigers in May, posting victory after victory. Of course this week the competition hasn't overwhelmed them as finished off the Royals last night 6-3 at Kansas City. Jeremy Bonderman (5-3) sealed another win behind sufficient production from the starting lineup. Omar Infante's two homers were all the Tigers needed.
Bonderman went 7 innings and allowed 3 earned runs on 10 hits and a walk while striling out five batters. Closer Todd Jones recorded his 15th save. An impressive statistic considering how no one expected Detroit get off to such a great start in the first half of the season. They're probably predicted to finish 3rd or 4th in the division. If it wasn't for World Champion White Sox they might be able to steal the division title this year.
Leading the team in batting average and RBIs is Maggilo Ordonez (.322 31 RBIs), who's putting together a tremendous season. As for the pitching rotation Kenny Rogers has posted 7 wins already. The team offense has combined for 68 homeruns and 218 RBIs. Chris Shelton is also having a career year, helping fuel the offense. Teams in the East better be aware of the Detroit Tigers this season and not not underestimate them. Otherwise they may get burned.
