There is sadness in Detroit as Tiger fans are worried about their teams chances of winning the 2012 World Series. Tiger fans don’t give up yet and I’ll tell you why. The Detroit Tigers have had an outstanding year. Even though they have made it to the World Series they never dominated the league. They often had small losing streaks that were almost enough to make one think, well maybe next year, except that they came back with winning streaks. It’s puzzling, however it worked out in the long run. The Tiger bats have once again turned soft and once again the fans are discouraged by the two game losing streak. If the Tigers can start a winning streak one more time, just like they have done all year long, we will end up with the World Championship. Let’s do it Tigers just one more time! -Harry Katopodis

On Friday night, Rick Porcello had good command of an array of pitches to baffle the Rangers and hold them to one run on just five hits, and led the Tigers to beat the Texas Rangers, 2-1.Porcello's lone mistake was a home run off of Geovany Soto's bat in the bottom of the fifth. He struck out six men and walked one.
Jose Ortega, Drew Smyly, Joaquin Benoit, and Papa Grande combined to shutout the Rangers the rest of the way. Valverde earned his fourth save.
Miguel Cabrera went 3-for-4, with a walk, and drove in a run with a double in the fifth inning to give the Tigers the lead 1-0. Two batters later Miggy scored on a sac fly from Alex Avila. Cabrera's average has swelled to .376.
