Great Effort by Thome Wasted in 10-6 Tigers Loss
Detroit first baseman Jim Thome pounded Tampa Bay Devil Rays pitchers at Comerica Park, but it was not enough to keep the Tigers from falling, 10-6. Thome was 2 for 3 with 2 home runs and 2 walks. He scored 3 times and drove in 3. The win belonged to Jimmy Haynes in relief. His record improves to 8-7. Steve Woodard took the loss for Detroit. Tampa Bay now sports a record of 91-71.

Tampa Bay used the hitting of Miguel Cabrera to pick up the win. The first baseman clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Devil Rays on top, 4-3. For the game, Cabrera had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"I'm not out there for personal accomplishments," Cabrera told a Tampa Bay Citizen reporter after the game. "I'm out there to help the team win, and that's what we did today."
