Tigers 4, Indians 1

      Max Scherzer pitched like Verlander. No, he wasn't throwing 101 mph in the eighth inning, or flirting with a no-hitter, but he just had that distinct aura of power around him. It also helped that he had the Indians completely off balance.

Max Scherzer.

     For example, the one run the Indians scored was on a passed ball, a passed ball that was so nasty a change-up that the batter swung at it. So nasty that even All-star catcher Alex Avila couldn't catch it. That's a pretty nasty pitch.     Here's my one crazy prediction of the year : If Max continues to pitch like he did last night, the Tigers will win the World Series.
    In other news.... the Little League World Series has started (go Kentucky!) and the Kentucky/Pennsylvania game Friday drew a Little League World Series record crowd of 42,683 people.
     Thanks for reading and go Tigers!
