Tigers 7, Rays 1: Tork homers, Jobe debuts

On their relentless march towards the playoffs on Wednesday night, the Tigers got on the board early, kept adding insurance, and we got a brief glimpse of the future amidst a 7-1 win that clinched the three-game series against the Rays.

Rookie Keider Montero made the start for the Tigers, his 16th start and 18th appearance overall. We know about his complete-game shutout of the Rockies a couple of weeks ago, but his most recent appearance was after an opener in the Baltimore away-series, and he got into quite a bit of trouble by giving up four home runs in 4 u2154 innings.
