Kenny Rogers returns to face his old ball club this afternoon. Rogers, the Rangers administration and the fans had a bad fall out last year despite Rogers having a career season before the incident with the camera man. That eventually led to his departure and new Tiger uniform. Keep in mind that Rogers was lights-out before the incident and finished last year 14-8 with a 3.46 era. This year, he has yielded just 3 hits on 1 earned run in 6 innings. Combine that with the Tigers producing runs in a flurry as they now average more than 7.8 per contest and the fact that Rogers is motivated to perform against his old team, bodes well for the Tigers. Besides, the Tigers are 5-0 with all coming on the road! Let's ride the hot Tigers who face Padilla and the Rangers and given that the Rangers are averaging less than 4 runs per contest as they try to find their offense (evidenced by their 0 runs at home yesterday). The Rangers 3-13 versus a team with a winning record and 0-6 against a team with a winning record at home where as the Tigers are the suprise of the league thus far at 5-0 and still undefeated on the year.
