Left-On-Left Matchups Don't Deter Fielder
It isn't easy being Prince Fielder, at least according to Tigers manager Jim Leyland.
Fielder hit a three-run home run in the seventh inning Wednesday to give Detroit a 6-1 lead over the White Sox in a game the Tigers eventually won 8-6. The blast snapped the first baseman's 0-for-18 spell.
It came off a left-handed pitcher, too, which Fielder has seen a lot of this month.
"Prince got the lefty," Leyland said. "I said before, this time of year, lefties gotta get a hit off a lefty and righties gotta get a hit off a righty. As you see, there's so many pitchers in the bullpen at this point, you're probably not going to get a matchup that you exactly want."
