Boesch does it again!

With the Tigers having their seven game winning streak snapped Saturday night losing 5-6 things looked different this afternoon as the Tigers finished off the D-Backs 3-1.

The Tigers were down 1-0 in the first with Chris Youngs double to score Justin Upton form third after getting on base with a walk. The score would remain 1-0 until the seventh when Cabrera starting the inning off with a single to Upton in right field.

Rookie Brennan Boesch took one deep for his 10th home run on the year and nobody out and giving the Tigers the lead. Next up Carlos Guillen drilled his 5th home run on the season in the same spot as Boesch and Kennedy having retired 13 straight going into the inning made two grand mistakes.

The past two weeks the Tigers have been playing good baseball winning games from behind and some where their offense seemed unstoppable. The Tigers have scored 52 runs in the past nine games and the rotation and bull pen have definitely helped one another out to keep a balanced attack.

They-re still 1.5 GB from division leader Minnesota Twins but there's still plenty of season left and if they keep playing baseball like this they can find themselves with opportunity to trade spots.
