DETROIT--The Tigers can't make it eight in a row as they fall 4-3 to the Rockies in Detroit.
Colorado's Houston Street clinched an impressive 100th career save as he retired Miguel Cabrera, Magglio Ordonez and Brandon Inge, the heart of Detroit's line-up, to hang on to the one-run lead.
April's Pitcher of the Month for the Tigers, Armando Galarraga, is no longer as he found himself once again giving up early runs in the game, although not as damaging as previous games in the month of May.
The Rockies jumped on the Tiger's quick in the 1st inning. Despite a solo-shot from Cabrera in the 2nd, it took until the 5th for the Tiger's to tie-up the game at three. Those runs were set-up in a double steal by Ordonez and Ryan Rayburn. However, it was short lived as Galarraga sent a 3-0 fastball to lead-off Todd Helton, who sent it back to the stands--the second homer Galarraga gave up in the game. Helton has now homered in 31 Major League ballparks after adding Comerica to the list. Galarraga is 2nd in the American league in home runs allowed.
Detroit will continuing the three-game series Sunday at 1:00 p.m. in Comerica Park. Dontrelle Willis is expected to throw for the Tigers.
