Brandon with the massive bomb
Tigers are losing 3-2 in the 9th inning with two outs and a full count on Marcus. He works a walk to keep the inning and the game alive. Brandon comes up to the dish and smashes one deep and gone to left. A no-doubt-about-it, toss-the-bat-and-trot kind of home run that had the pitcher on his knees and me on my feet. Clutch homer that saved the Tigers from a sweep.
Edwin pitched really good again and is happy with the no-decision because he was one strike away from a really disheartening loss. EJ has just been outstanding all year. I think he has only had one or two bad outings the entire season. He just has not gotten the run support to get as many wins as he deserves. Plus, today he was pulled for a pinch hitter in the 8th. Had this been an AL game, he would have had a chance to go back out there in the bottom of the 8th and may have gotten a win. No worries, though. The team wins that is all that matters.
On to Oakland for 3, then to the crappy dome in Minneapolis.
