Live Tigers blog: Iwakuma retires Tigers in order in 2nd

The Tigers went down in order in the bottom of the second inning.

After Alex Avila grounded out to shortstop, Jim Adduci hit into a loud out -- flying out to straightaway center field on a ball that went nearly 400 feet. James McCann then flew out to right field to end the inning.

After two, neither team has scored.

Nelson Cruz is in the top-three, one could argue.

Cruz hit a stand-up double off the wall in left-center field to lead off the second inning.
