Game 32 @ OAK

Brandon McCarthy quieted the bats of the Tigers, along with help from Brian Fuentes.

Closer Grant Balfour helped make things interesting when he surrendered a game-tying home run to Prince Fielder. However, a few hits were strung together in the bottom of the ninth off of Matt Guerrier.

Jemile Weeks walked off with a single.

In the losing effort, Ian Kinsler homered. JJ Hardy went 2-3 with a run scored.
