On Sunday, the Tigers and Braves met in Atlanta and the Tigers proceeded to girl-fight their way to a 10-4 victory. The Tigers scratched out (get it?) 16 singles as a part of their 17-hit barrage against starter Tommy Hanson and 3 relievers. The one blight on the Tigers quest for singles perfection was a home run. Manager Jim Leyland was ejected for the game for running out on the field after RF Brennan Boesch screwed up the whole thing by hitting a 2 run HR in the 5th inning.
Leyland on the incident: "I was pissed. We just scored five runs the previous inning by hitting singles, and this jerk has to show up his entire team by putting one in the seats? We could've had a perfect game!"
