St. Petersburg, Fla. — The Tigers were three outs away from evening the series.
Up 4-1 and with closer Gregory Soto on the mound, the Tampa Bay Rays stormed back to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth and then walked it off in the 10th, beating the Tigers 7-4 Friday night at Tropicana Field.
"I won't go back to the hotel very happy and our guys won't either," manager AJ Hinch said. "We earned an almost-won. We didn't finish it off. But we're not going hang our heads or pout. We're not going let it linger.
