Old friend Farnsworth implodes

Kyle Farnsworth made his second appearance as a Tiger this afternoon against the Tampa Bay Rays, and it wasn't a pretty one.

He entered the game with a 3-1 lead in the eighth. When he left, it was a 4-3 deficit. In his one inning of work, he gave up three hits (two home runs) and three earned runs. The two home runs were his 12th and 13th allowed this season.

Meanwhile, Ivan Rodriguez is 3-for-9 with a home run and an RBI in three games as a Yankee.

The Tigers would go on to lose the game, meaning the Yankees remain six games behind Tampa Bay in the loss column.
