Live Tigers blog: Grand slam puts Tigers up in 7th

J.D. Martinez blew a 3-1 advantage, to deep right center field, with the bases loaded and nobody out.

His grand slam in the bottom of the seventh inning, on a 3-1 pitch, put the Tigers ahead 8-7, after surrendering the lead in the seven-run third inning.

It was the second home run of the game for Martinez. He hit a solo homer in the bottom of the third.

The next three Tigers went down in order, but after seven they have a one-run lead.
