Top 5th: A's go down quietly
Tigers starter Justin Verlander appeared to settle back into the groove he was in earlier in the game, retiring the A's in order in the top of the fifth. The Tigers go to bat in the fifth leading 5-1.
Bottom 4th: Tigers get run back
After Anthony Gose reached on a Marcus Semien error to lead off the fourth for the Tigers, and advanced to third on a bad pickoff attempt by A's pitcher Ryan Dull, Detroit scored again. J.D. Martinez hit a long sacrifice fly to a running right fielder Khris Davis — his fourth RBI of the night.
