I know....Nick left way to many pitches up and he got hammered. Gordo and Gladden were saying that all Texas had to do was get base hits and they sure did...I think those two cursed them

I have noticed now that Nick is having a hard time facing the same lineup in his second go around. Notice how Chicago and Detroit got to him the second time around when they faced him. Now, Texas. It's just part of a pitcher trying to growing up. Nick has a learning curve to go.
Tigers are playing very well. They are fortunate that no one has looked great in the division early on so that rough start did not kill them. They can thank the Twins bullpen for their great play.
