Tigers pin knock-out punch hopes on…. Nate Robertson.
How’s this for a plot twist.. Nate Robertson can deliver the knock-out blow against the (hated?) division rival this afternoon, sending Detroit into the playoffs. Of course, a loss doesn’t really hurt, but a win would be huge – rest the starting pitching, rest Brandon Inge’s knees, save heart-attack inducing moments from fans. And much maligned Nate Robertson is on the mound for Detroit.
Godspeed Nate Robertson.
