Bottom 8th: Tigers 7, Rays 6
Justin Wilson started the eighth, looking for better luck than Alex Wilson had in the seventh.
Rickie Weeks Jr. replaced Shane Peterson as a pinch hitter to give the Rays a right-hander against the lefty Wilson. However, he struck out swinging for the first out. Tim Beckham battled, but also struck out for the second out. Corey Dickerson swung right through a fastball for strike three to end the home half of the eighth.

The Tigers needed to add some insurance runs against the Rays' bullpen to combat their own relief issues.
