Game 16 vs. TEX

Everything... and I mean EVERYTHING is going right for the Tigers. Josh Beckett finished his rehab stint, so he is returning to the MLB. But today, Justin Verlander took the mound and kept the Tigers in it. He gave up 1 run in 8 innings, and gave way to a bullpen that won the game.

Neftali Feliz was solid early, but deteriorated, giving up both the tying and winning runs in consecutive innings. Michael Morse tied it with a home run in the 8th. Then, Miguel Cabrera walked off for a second time in this series! His home run in the bottom of the ninth capped the comeback.

The Tigers swept the Rangers in this 4 game series!
