ESPN.com – MLB – Box Score: Detroit beats the Yanks
Significant on two levels:
Franklyn German should be considered the Tigers’ closer now, if there was any question. He’s pitching better than earlier in the season, and Trammel seems to now be setting up situations for him.
Jeff Weaver gave up beaucoup hits, and if there’s ever a time to compare results with those of Jose Contreras, back to back games against the anemic Tigers is the time. If David Wells turns out to be ready for his next start, Weaver would appear to be in danger. Still, if he gets sat down, don’t fret. He’ll be back. I promise.
