Sheets Handcuffs Diamondbacks, Tigers Seize 1-0 Advantage in WC
The Detroit Tigers started the Wild Card Series in style today, downing the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks at Comerica Park by a score of 7-1 to stake an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series. Tigers right-hander Ben Sheets threw 7.0 innings of shutout ball.

Sheets earned the win, going 7 strong innings for Detroit. The native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, allowed just 3 hits, while striking out 8. Arizona hitters did next to nothing against the right-hander.

"I thought we played a nice game," Sheets told the Detroit Citizen. "Good pitching, timely hitting, it was all there."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Comerica Park in Detroit.
