For some reason I thought after the 2nd k he also got to to first. How'd they make the throw to 1st and make it close at 3rd? Was he auto out because there was a guy a first..

 

[tigermud]

Tigers not cashing in on scoreing ops what else is new, these tigers sure do get shutout a lot. Most exciting part of tonight’s game was when Gibson told his story about how he enjoyed the at bat after hitting one out of tiger stadium more cuz he played over the ump to score a run LOL
