Guys get on base and anything can happen.
The Tigers won 8-4 Wednesday. Mlicki won his second straight start, after going 0-2 his first four starts. He allowed all four Texas runs and seven hits in eight innings, and struck out nine. After Mlicki gave up two runs in the first and allowed the Rangers to close to 5-4 on Doug Mirabelli's solo homer in the fourth, he didn't allow another hit. I started throwing strikes.
