Sunday the Tigers beat the Colorado Rockies with a good pitching performance by Kenny Rogers and the relievers along with some timely hitting by the youngsters Detroit has moved up to the "big club". They have played very well but have not closed in on first place Chicago in the last week. They also have to catch the Twins who are the hottest team in baseball recently. They may have restored the roar but still have some work to do. We will see how they play against the Minnesota Twins the first part of this week and then in Seattle (where we hope to see a game later in the week).
Brenda, Kathy and I were joined by 20 or so of Kathy's relatives who are also related to Clint Hurdle, the Rockies' manager who is from Big Rapids. Kathy and Clint have the same aunt and uncle--Aunt Shirley on Kathy's side and Uncle Bob on Clint's. They got to see Clint before the game, then cheered on the Tigers. Weather was cool (high 60s) and overcast with a hard shower that did not interrupt the game and some sprinkles (called rain in Seattle).
A fun time at the ball yard.
