Swept In Detroit

The next time Texas sees a trip to Detroit on the schedule, they might wanna seriously consider just staying home.

After dropping the final game of the three-game series, the Rangers have now lost 11 games in a row in Detroit.

The Tigers' Miguel Cabrera had an RBI single in the bottom of the eighth inning, putting Detroit up 4-3. Texas wasn't able to overcome the deficit, dropping their third game in a row after having previously won seven straight.

Kevin Millwood pitched a complete game but walked four and allowed four earned runs, three via homeruns in both the 1st and 3rd innings.

"It's not like we're getting blown out every game," Texas starter Kevin Millwood said. "We're playing good baseball. We're just coming out on the short end. It's a good thing we don't have to come back here."

Nelson Cruz gets thrown out at the plate Thursday afternoon.

David Murphy and Nelson Cruz supplied all the offense for Texas getting little help from any other member of the lineup.
