It is good to win a marathon
Really good win in a 16 inning game that lasted over 5 hours. Tigers blew a 6-0 lead and didn't score a run from the 4th inning, when they took a 7-1 lead, until the 14th inning when they took a 8-7 lead. Then after Freddie Dolsi allowed the Twins to tie it in the 14th, the Tigers won it with 3 runs in the 16th.
Placido had the RBI in the 14th as well as one in the 16th. Marcus and Gerald both hit home runs.
Luke French pitched well in this game, but didn't last long enough. He only got through 4 2/3 of an inning, but left with a lead. Zach came in and really was bad.
Zach's line: 0.2 IP, 4 H, 5 ER, 1 BB, 0 SO. Quite bad.
After Zach left, the bullpen was steller until Freddie gave up the tying run in the 14th. Good job by him in the 15th and 16th, though and he got the win. Leyland was forced to have Armando ready in the bullpen in case Freddie had to get yanked. The bullpen was empty at that point and I'm not sure what that would have done to the rotation, but luckily that did not happen.
Huge game Saturday on the 4th - Edwin is pitching against Liriano. Should be fun.
