Boesch, Guillen help Tigers take series from D'Backs

Baseball Betting Lines

06/20/2010 - Detroit, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rookie Brennan Boesch and Carlos Guillen hit back-to-back home runs off Arizona starter Ian Kennedy in the bottom of the seventh inning, lifting Detroit to a 3-1 win in the rubber match of a three- game interleague series at Comerica Park.

Kennedy (3-5) had retired 13 batters straight through six frames before giving up a leadoff single to Miguel Cabrera. Boesch then hammered the 10th home run of his impressive campaign to the seats in right field, erasing a 1-0 deficit. Guillen's blast to right made it 3-1. Kennedy was replaced later in the seventh by Juan Gutierrez after Ramon Santiago singled with two outs.

Joel Zumaya pitched a 1-2-3 eighth for the Tigers and Jose Valverde tossed a perfect ninth to record his 16th save.

Detroit starter Max Scherzer (4-6), who spent his first two years in the majors playing for Arizona before being dealt in the offseason, gave up one run on four hits and two walks with eight strikeouts over seven innings.

Both Scherzer and Kennedy were involved in the three-team trade last December that sent outfielder Curtis Granderson to the Yankees.

The Diamondbacks got a run in the first inning on a double by Chris Young that scored Justin Upton, who drew a two-out walk and advanced to third on a Miguel Montero single.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
