Game 23 vs. KC

There were two debuts this evening. Gio Gonzalez made his season debut, after severing his finger like Josh Beckett. Adam Jones came over from the Orioles in a blockbuster deal that swapped young stars and prospects. Now, it was time to see both in action.

Gio Gonzalez was knocked around early, but stayed in the game long enough to have the Tigers offense tie it up for him. He sacrificed his ERA, before leaving with a no-decision. On the other hand, Adam Jones did what was expected of him. He got the Tigers on the board in his debut with a homer.

Sure the Tigers clawed their way back, but the Royals had a response. Things got tense late, and this one went to extras.

The Tigers loaded the bases with no outs in the 10th. However, Ian Kinsler struck out and Michael Morse flew out. Miguel Cabrera worked a 2-0 count and then launched a walk-off grand slam! This is his 3rd walk-off hit of the season!
