Tigers Pull Off Epic Comeback

Game 74 @ TEX

This game was close until the end. Both teams had multiple leads; but after 5 lead changes, the Tigers prevailed.

Players on both sides came through against their former teams. Ian Kinsler homered to start off the scoring. In the 4th, Delmon Young had an RBU double to give the Rangers their first lead. Ryan Raburn's homer in the 7th gave the Rangers their second lead.

The true comeback started when Mike Adams came on for Yu Darvish (7 IP, 4 ER) in the 8th. He gave up a home run to Miguel Cabrera. That brought the Tigers within one run.

Alexei Ogando was the only effective pitcher for the Rangers. He cleaned up Adams' mess in the 8th.

Joe Nathan blew a save when Andre Ethier hit a game-tying, 2 out home run.

The Tigers opened the floodgates against a taxed Rangers bullpen, as their only option was a severely fatigued Yoshinori Tateyama (IP, 5 ER).

The Rangers let yet another potential win against the Tigers slip out of their hands.
