Live blog: Rangers putting Tigers away in 8th

Bottom 8th: Rangers 9, Tigers 3

Elvis Andrus drew a leadoff walk from Tigers reliever Warwick Saupold. He came around to score on a double to right-center from Adrian Beltre that puts Texas up 7-3.

After Nomar Mazara struck out looking, the Tigers gave Joey Gallo the intentional free pass to presumably set up the double play. Well, that didn't work too well because Saupold threw a wild pitch that moved the runners up to second and third. Mike Napoli delivered both home with a single to left field that makes it 9-3.

Justin Upton grounded out to shortstop, Miguel Cabrera struck out swinging and Nick Castellanos flew out to right field as the Tigers went down in order.
