Live Tigers blog: Collins' bomb ties game in 7th

Bottom 7th: Tigers 2, Royals 2

Tyler Collins, who caused some controversy earlier this season when a certain gesture to the Tigers crowd, returned in a big way with a big blast to right field to tie the game at 2-2.

After James McCann popped out to second to start the inning, Collins went up and got a hanging pitch from Luke Hochevar and hit it out of one of the deepest part of the ballparks in right center field.

Top 7th: Royals 2, Tigers 1

Justin Verlander came back out for the seventh following a disappointing sixth and set the Royals down in order to give himself one more shot at a win tonight should his teammates pick up the slack in the bottom of the frame.
