It was a similar story, with a different ending.
Matthew Boyd pitched well. The Detroit Tigers’ offense didn’t help him out. A couple of close plays went against the Tigers. It looked like a loss.
But, down a run in the bottom of the ninth inning, Christin Stewart doubled and Jeimer Candelario singled to tie it. Still, it went down as a loss.
Despite Boyd’s seven strong innings and the Tigers’ ninth inning comeback, Shane Greene allowed a two-run home run to Starling Marte in the 10th inning and the Pirates beat the Tigers, 5-3.
