The Detroit Tigers couldn't finish the job.
A throwing error to begin the bottom of the ninth inning led to an unexpected four-run comeback to send the game to extra innings, but the Tigers failed to outscore the Los Angeles Angels in the 10th inning.
The Tigers lost, 7-6, in the first of three games at Comerica Park on Tuesday night.
