Taking One for the Team

Jeremy Bonderman gives up double digit runs for the first time in his career. Leyland leaves him in to allow nine hits, three walks and eleven runs in 2 1/3 innings of work. His previous high was nine runs on 8/29/2005 in 3 1/3 innings against Cleveland. The Angels lead 12-1 in the fourth but given the comebacks today, I wouldn't turn off the game yet. The Angels have hammered the Tigers in this series, scoring 33 runs in the three games so far, and they are only in the bottom of the fourth in this game.

During Bonderman's previous start, the Tigers announcers noted he gave up (*from memory*) like 25-30 runs total in the first innings of his starts, and a nearly identical number of runs in all the other innings combined.

Clearly a guy who needs an inning to settle in, then becomes dominant. I thought at the time, "Gee, shouldn't they just warm him up longer?"

The Angels clearly weren't willing to wait around.
