7:13  As we join you six minutes after First Pitch, the Tigers are already down 2-0 on RBI doubles by Daniel Murphey and Angel Pagan (who happens to have one of the more interesting names in Organized Ball, don't you think?)  Rick Porcello is getting knocked around early, continuing a trend. In his last 3 starts, Porcello's ERA is 8.59.  He's pitched 14.2 innings, has allowed a whopping 23 hits, and 14 Earned Runs.  If we factor in the first inning tonight, which just ended by the way, that ERA (now covering his last 4 starts) rises to 9.19.  Or, as we in the industry say, "Yikes!"
