Friday's 3-1 Rangers' loss to the Tigers at Comerica Park was a breeze to cover. The temperature a perfect 73 degrees (and dropped throughout the evening) and it was over in two hours and five minutes.
We salute you, Bartolo Colon and Jordan Zimmermann. Both starting pitchers worked fast and (whatever you think of the offenses involved) carved their way through the other lineups. When they gave ups runs, long, grueling innings weren't necessary. All four runs came courtesy of home runs, including Shin-Soo Choo's lead-off homer on the second pitch of the game.
