Both teams laid it all out in this one. Ricky Romero (ND) made his first start and pitched 7 strong innings. He handed the ball of the the bullpen, who gave up no runs after him. His true "mistake" was surrendering a home run to Derek Norris, but Romero wasn't tagged with the loss.
Brett Anderson was efficient against the Tigers. Clutch hitting spoiled his outing. He pitched 9 and 1/3 innings, striking out 7. He gave up the Michael Morse double that sent the game into extra innings.
Edgar Gonzalez started off great, but he deteriorated quickly in the late innings. He lost his control. He hit Manny Ramirez in the back, which led to an injury and a trip to the DL. When he hit Marco Scutaro, a warning was given to both benches.
Andre Ethier, who came in after Ramirez was injured, hit a 2 run homer in his 2nd at-bat, giving the Tigers the game winning runs in the 15th.
Miguel Cabrera tacked on another with his second home run of the day. He went 5-7!
Jose Valverde converted the much anticipated save, his 10th on the season.
Justin Verlander recorded a win. He only had to throw 2 pitches in 1/3 innings, as Geovany Soto helped him by repeatedly catching runners stealing. The A's were only 1 for 5 on the basepaths.
There are still 2 games left in the series...
