Detroit avoids worst start in franchise history The Associated Press DETROIT Maybe this was the sign the Detroit Tigers had been looking for. Less than two minutes after Todd Jones got Jorge Posada on a long fly to left, preserving the Tigers 9-7 win against the New York Yankees on Friday night, the skies opened up and a hard rain swept over Comerica Park.

"See how our fortunes have changed already Tigers Manager Phil Gamer said. "Yesterday, it would have poured on us in that inning right before we scored all the runs." In fact, Detroit did have 3-0 lead against the Kansas City Royals washed out Tuesday night, and the Tigers lost the other two games in that series. Who would have thought the worst team in baseball would find a way to defeat the defending World Series champions, especially on a night when Roger Clemens was pitching?

Western Confararca Houston vt. Chicago The Tigers improve to 10-23, although that's still the worst record in the major leagues. Only one Detroit team has started the season 9-24, the 1953 club that finished 60-94 and 40'i games behind Casey Stengel's Yankees. "I don't know if we needed this win more than any other." Palmer said. "We needed any kind of win." Clemens (3-3), bidding for his 25 1st career win, got off to a shaky start by walking two and allow ing a bunt single in the first inning even though the Tigers failed to score.

Clemens said he never could seem to get his hand in position to release the ball properly. As a result, he often couldn't throw the ball where he wanted to. He issued five walks. "It was disappointing, for sure," Clemens said. "Just warming up.
