Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

Tigers 4 - Red Sox 3: You dance with who brung you, but Andrew Bailey?s latest faux pas might make Red Sox Nation yearn for the return of the ol? Riverdancer. Protecting a 1-run lead, Bailey walked leadoff man Victor Martinez, then hung up a walk-off HR to Jhonny Peralta, the 4th HR and 3rd blown save in Bailey?s last 5 outings.

The Sox broke a 2-all tie in the 8th off Phil Coke, who deserved his 5th loss after throwing 8 straight balls in front of Big Papi, who took one and hit to right. But Do-it-all Drew Smyly cleaned up that no-out mess and pitched the 9th, putting one past Pedroia on 3-and-2 with a man on 3rd to keep Papi at bay; 4 Ks in 2 IP to reach 3-0, 1.85.

Jose Alvarez went 5 solid innings in his 2nd start. He survived his own wildness in the 3rd, getting Pedroia with 3 on after two 4-pitch walks and a HBP in a 17-ball inning. That might have prompted a get-over first toss to Ortiz starting the 4th, and Papi pulled up his 15th tater. A leadoff triple in the 5th, past a geriatric-looking Torii Hunter, led to a second run, but Hunter came through in Detroit?s half with a 2-out tying single. Miguel Cabrera doubled but struck out 3 times.
?Detroit?s first game-winning hit of the year, and first sayonara! home run since last August, came after 6 walk-off defeats this season.
?Nice track-down by A-Jax, faintly reminiscent of ? no, no; that would be blasphemy.
?Another GIDP for V-Mart, his 11th ? 7 of those from the left side. Meanwhile, Matt Tuiasosopo came off the bench Wednesday with a 2-run pinch-double, raising his OPS to 1.029 over all and 1.203 with RISP.
