The Detroit Tigers came through on Sweet Lou Whitaker’s special day with a convincing 9-1 win over the visiting Tampa Bay Rays. Garrett Hill played with fire over 5 2⁄3 frames but managed to surrender just a single run — a solo home run — in an outing reminiscent of his solid major league debut, while the offense showed up against one of the best starting pitchers in the game right now. It was a sight to behold as the only franchise that the should-be Hall of Famer played for honored one of its greats in front of a packed Comerica Park crowd.
