Holy hot CF Eddie Roasrio! Rosario went 4-for-4 with two doubles and a three-run dinger in the Red Wings slug-fest yesterday. 1B Kennys Vargas and LF Adam Brett Walker also hit home runs in the win.

The offenive support was welcome to SP Jason Wheeler, who gave up four earned runs on seven hits over 6 innings pitched. RP Sean Burnett and RP J.T. Chargios both pitched scoreless innings before RP Alex Wimmers came in for the 9th. Wimmers was a little shaky, giving up an RBI double to Clippers 1B Jesus Aguilar and allowing the typing run to come to the plate, but luckily he struck that guy out to end the game.
