Huff 1-4 not the best debut for the Tigers but im sure he'll pick it up but he only batting .253 this season

Porcello had a nice outing too

It was probably Porcello's best outing this year! 1 BB and a career high 8 strike outs!

Perry also pitched great!

Seay had an off day, but even though the Tigers went behind with Seay's pitching, they Tiger batters came back and scored 4 runs in the bottom of the inning to give Seay the win (which I say sucks!!!

But Rodney gets another save!
