Armando…. you look marvelous
Just as everyone thought during spring training, Armando Galarraga has been the anchor of the Detroit Tiger pitching staff.
With a win Monday, Galarraga not only became the winningest pitcher for the Tigers this season. He also matched the win total for the entire starting staff. Jeremy Bonderman and Kenny Rogers have one win each and Justin Verlander, Nate Robertson and Dontrelle Willis have yet to win.
Galarraga has been a savior for the Tigers so far. But the bottom line is this: for as much has been said about hitting and the bullpen getting off to bad starts, the Tigers have been betrayed by their starting pitching.
