Tigers Net 8-5 Win Over Reds
Jorge Posada impressed in the 8-5 Detroit win over Cincinnati. Posada, who finished 5th in the VBL in doubles with 45 last year, was 2-3 with 2 doubles and a walk. Buddy Groom earned the save for Detroit, his 22nd. Detroit has run its win streak to 4 consecutive.

With Detroit leading 3-2 in the top of the third, Posada hit a sinker from Matt Clement for a run-scoring double. It was his 23rd double of the season and put the Tigers ahead, 4-2.

"Our approach was just to try to see something over the plate and be aggressive," Posada told the Detroit Chronicle.
