Tigers 7, Royals 1 (7/22/08)
Detroit fans wondered whether he’d lost it. They had to, really, after Kenny Rogers’ stat line on May 21 read 4-4, with 6.66 ERA.
With that type of production coming a season after a major injury, all kinds of doubts surrounded the 43-year-old pitcher.
Not much is uncertain about Rogers anymore. His performance in Tuesday’s 7-1 win further drove that point home. The lefty is now 4-2 since that day in May, and his ERA has shrunk by more than two runs.
