Shut Out Already?

We had a great day for baseball at Comerica Park.  Tigers vs KC Royals for an afternoon game.  Cloudless skies, temps in the low 50s, not even a breeze.  Cap and gloves came off when we took our seats.

Smiths went with us and we had lunch at Leo's Coney Island at the ball park (our first choice, Cheli's Bar, had a 45 minute wait 50 minutes before game time).

Seats were behind the visitors dugout, about 20 rows up, and we stayed warm in the sunshine until the ninth inning when the shadows of the upper deck finally covered us.

Kenny Rogers started for the Tigers and pitched quite well.  As did relievers.  They gave up four runs.  But the well-paid offense produced nothing.  Three hits--all by Edgar Renteria who was eliminated twice by ground ball double plays.  So Royals pitchers faced on one batter more than the minimum--great pitching.

But it's always a treat for  us to see the Tigers play in person.
