Bottom 3rd: Zimmermann can't catch break

After getting the first two outs relatively quickly, things got tricky for Tigers starter Jordan Zimmermann. On a 0-2 pitch to Evan Longoria, the ball was popped up in foul territory, but hit something in the roof of Tropicana Field -- causing the ball to be ruled dead -- and dropped between first baseman Miguel Cabrera and catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Longoria doubled two pitches later. The next batter, Logan Morrison, walked to put two on. Brandon Guyer singled in Longoria, making it 2-0. Corey Dickerson followed with an infield single to load the bases.
