Ian Kinsler hit a grand slam, but the Tigers' comeback story was derailed in the ninth.
Let's say you went to bed when Anibal Sanchez gave up six runs in three innings. Maybe you stuck it until Warwick Saupold allowed another three in relief.
Looking at the headline and seeing the Tigers somehow lost 11-9 (in walkoff fashion) must come as a bit of a surprise, right?
Alas, a loss is still a loss, but the journey made it a little more entertaining along the way.
Let's start with the end: After rallying back to a tie after trailing 9-2 after five innings, the ninth inning went about as well as you might expect.
