Drew Pomeranz (4.1-8-6-2-2, 93) faltered in the first inning, allowing a single and two-run homer to the first two Tigers batters. He ended up surrendering four hits, walking one, throwing a wild pitch, and allowing three runs. Pomeranz departed the game with the bases loaded in the fifth. Heath Hembree faced Justin Upton: ball, swinging strike, ball, swinging strike, BOOM - opposite-field grand slam off the Pesky Pole. Detroit's lead jumped from 3-2 to 7-2. And that was that.
ESPN Stats & Information: Pomeranz failed to pitch at least five innings for the fifth time this year.
