Game 141: Record 75-66

Tigers let this one get away

This is a game they should have won, no doubt about that in my mind. They had leads of 1-0, 3-2 and 6-3. They led 6-5 going into the 9th inning when Fernando Rodney came into pitch and after getting the first two batters, stained the bed by giving up a single, stolen base, HR, walk. The two run HR was the difference.

In the bottom of the 9th, they had a shot with two men on and Raburn at bat but it didn't happen. Fifth straight loss.

The White Sox won and the Twins lost again, so the White Sox are now in 2nd place - 5 games back. Magic number stands at 16.
