Tigers ride home-run barrage to beat Rays in opener
St. Petersburg, Fla. – These games just keep getting harder and harder to fathom.
The Tigers slugged five home runs Monday night. They scored more runs than they had since April 16. They had leads of 6-0, 8-2 and 10-5.
And they had to hold on for dear life. Will Vest, after some heroic work to get out of the eighth inning with a lead, closed out the ninth inning and the Tigers beat the Tampa Bay Rays, 10-9, in the first of three games at Tropicana Field.
The win snapped a four-game losing.
The Tigers, almost literally, walked the Rays back into the game. Three of the eight walks issued came in a bizarre eighth inning and all three scored.
