Last night, the Rays won 3-2 in the 10th. The game ended when Ramon Santiago was late getting to second base for a force play on a ball fielded by Brandon Inge. The runner beat him to the bag and the winning run scored. That's the first time I can recall seeing a walk off fielders' choice in the game recap.
Duane Below was the tough luck loser. He gave up that run in 1.1 innings pitched, to fall to 0-2 on the year. Max Scherzer started and went 5. Alex Avila hit his 16th homer for Detroit and Austin Jackson had a sac fly.
Tonight, Detroit finished the series with a 2-0 win. Doug Fister struck out 5 in 7 innings. He improved to 6-13 on the season, 3-1 as a Tiger. Jose Valerde closed out the 9th for his 38th save.
Austin Jackson led off the game with his 7th home run of the season. He also added a sac fly. Jackson also stole his team leading 18th base for good measure. Wilson Betemit was 2-3. Ryan Raburn and Victor Martinez had doubles.
