Tigers Take 3 of 4 in Minnesota

The Tigers took a 2-0 decison in Minnesota this afternoon,winning 3 of the 4 games at the Metrodome.

Jason Johnson pitched a complete game shutout for the Tigers,striking out 11 Twins.

The win knocks the Twins into a 1st place tie for the moment with Chicago in the AL Central,depending on the outcome of the White Sox-Mariners game.

Santana pitched a great game. John son just outdueled him. Congrats Jason on the CG SHO! :thumbsup:

Yep, JJ was awesome today. Probably the best game he's pitched as a Tiger. They've got 42 wins at the break. One less than all of last year. This team plays a ton of games against the Central the rest of the year. They could really make it fun if they get pitching like today.

i heard the tigers were putting stuff on the vents in their dugout because of the superstitions with the Metrodome ventilation :cool:

it will be fun seeing this division down the stretch, the Twins seem to struggle within the division and the Twins were down a bunch goin into the break last year and ended up winning, could be the Tigers this year i think.

With the way they handled the Yanks and the Twins over the final week of the first half, I have great optimism that we can actually pull off the worst-to-first scenario. I just hope Dombrowski doesn't become a seller as the trade deadline gets closer. We need at least another quality starter to truly compete with the Sox and the Twins.
