Live blog: Tigers add insurance run in 8th, lead 6-1

Top 8th: Tigers 6, Angels 1

Deolis Guerra entered the game in relief of Angels starter JC Ramirez.

Victor Martinez finally got into the hit column to start the eighth. He hit a double to the wall in left center, somehow beating Cameron Maybin. He advanced to third on a wild pitch with no outs in the next at-bat.

Justin Upton couldn't score Martinez, striking out swinging on a 3-2 count. Tyler Collins flew out to center, but it wasn't deep enough to score Victor. James McCann did bring him in with a two-out double to the left field wall.
