Blog: Gose, Martinez homer in 9th for insurance runs

Top 9th

Bryan Morris was the new pitcher for the Marlins in the ninth, but this, time the Tigers were ready to pounce.

Anthony Gose drilled a one-out pitch to deep, deep right field for a solo home run and a huge insurance run to give the Tigers a 6-4 lead.

Not to be outdone in his first plate appearance this season, Victor Martinez homered to left-center for a big-time shot that puts the Tigers up 7-4. Martinez was pinch-hitting for the pitchers spot and wasn't in the starting lineup tonight because there is no DH in the National League.
