- The Tigers needed this. It was looking a little gamey after the series against Tampa Bay and the big first inning by the Dodgers tonight. This is validation of how good the Tigers are, and while they remain flawed, they are still top contenders to win it all. The Dodgers are arguably the best team in the National League. The Tigers pouring it on them like this is definitely a terrific sign.
- Every time I expect Rajai Davis has slowed down and is playing to his track record, he has a game like this. He's been an excellent signing for the Tigers.
- Nice comeback for Justin Verlander in this game. It's more proof his competitive character isn't exactly lacking.
