- Two outs, bases loaded, down two runs, the fifth inning, the pitcher on the ropes...Miguel Cabrera couldn't have been at the plate in a more ideal situation. He just didn't get it done. Not a good series for Prince Fielder, either.
- Quintin Berry sometimes struggles as a hitter, but he usually doesn't get himself out. Plate discipline is normally a strength. Tonight, that has not been the case. If he had showed more plate discpline in the fifth inning, he would have drawn a bases loaded walk.
- Overall, not a bad outing for Anibal Sanchez. He did fight through his command issues. Two runs, six innings, seven k's, not bad. Starting pitching has not been a problem for the Tigers the last two games, that's for sure.
- Tim Lincecum in that spot is almost unfair. Giants bullpen is something.
