The Tigers went down to Chicago to start a weekend series with the White Sox. Dontrelle Willis didn't make it out of the first inning with a hyper-extended knee after slipping on a wet mound. And the bullpen had to pick up the slack for the rest of the game.
Recipe for disaster? Most times, yes. But somehow they pulled it out.
The bullpen was solid (with the exception of Jason Grilli), only allowing seven baserunners to reach in all nine innings. And the only Tiger in the lineup that didn't join in the hitting was Pudge Rodriguez, with an 0-4 outing.
Even though it was against arguably Chicago's weakest starting pitcher, Jose Contreras, a victory is a victory.
