Tigers 2 run 13th inning lifts them over Indians
Thursday, July 31st, 2008On a night that lasted 5 hours and 33 minutes, we saw a game that had 526 total pitches, 42 base hits, 7 homeruns, and a combined total score of 26. The Detroit Tigers (54-52) eventually outscored the Cleveland Indians (46-59) in 13 to win the game, 14-12. Here is how the 13th inning went down: Carlos Guillen singled with one out in the 13th, and went to third on a Curtis Granderson single, his fifth hit. Guillen scored on Placido Polanco’s groundout. Granderson then scored the second run of the inning on a throwing error on a Matt Joyce infield single. There was also some history made in this game, albeit for the losing team. Cleveland’s catcher Kelly Shoppach tied a major league mark with five extra-base hits, including a game-tying homer in the ninth to send it into extra innings. Casey Fossum was given the win, with Juan Rincon taking the loss.
