Cron’s walk-off blast spoils Tigers comeback

Anaheim, Calif. — The Tigers have an extremely difficult decision to make regarding Anibal Sanchez, who faltered again here Tuesday night.

A gallant, home-run driven comeback from a 9-2 deficit doesn’t alter that narrative. Though it certainly spiced up what had been a rather dull, one-sided ballgame.

The rally was for naught, however. C.J. Cron hit his second homer of the game off Mark Lowe in the ninth to give the Angels an 11-9 win.

When the dust cleared from Sanchez’s latest flame-out — and another rough relief outing by Warwick Saupold — the Tigers were in a 9-2 hole after four innings.
