Another QS for EJ results in another ND
Edwin Jackson pitched really well on Saturday, only giving up two solo HR's and left the game with a 3-2 lead, but Bobby Seay quickly allowed one inherited runner to score and tie the game. The tying run was scored by Span after he was walked by EJ to start the inning. Leadoff walks = trouble! Especially to a speedster like Denard Span.
The Tigers offense was completely dormant and trailed 2-0 heading into the 7th inning, when they got two hits on the first two pitches of the inning from Marcus Thames and Ryan Raburn. Then after Brandon was retired, Magglio hit a fast ball deep to Center and the Tigers suddenly had a 3-2 lead. Unfortunately, that lead lasted only a few batters.
Brandon Lyon then allowed a couple hits in the 8th to let the Twins take the lead. And it also allowed Joe Nathan to come into the game in the 9th with a 1 run lead and a save opportunity.
Nathan did his normal job of shutting down the Tigers in order.
