Last Night’s Action: Igawa Does Disappoint
Tigers 6, Yankees 5: It’s official. Kei Igawa still stinks. He lasted three innings but somehow managed to give up 11 hits and six runs. He didn’t walk or strike out a batter, meaning he left everything in the hands of his defense. With Derek Jeter and Wilson Betemit manning the left side of …
