Minneapolis. On Monday night June 28, the Tigers had to send one of their closers to the vet. Joel Zumaya, a fiery competitor, saw his season and dream of winning a title go down the drain. The Tigers took game 1 7-5, but after celebrating the win, the Tigers got the worst news that any baseball team would want to hear. And that is that their star closer is out for the rest of the season after a pitching injury. So who will replace Joel Zumaya as the Tigers battle with the Twins? This game is a very important game for the Tigers in their mental attitude if the Tigers can somehow show the heart of a champion. The Tigers must find a way to rally around their fallen teammate.
