Detroit — There was plenty of thunder and lightning at Comerica Park Wednesday. Unfortunately for the home team, that was not a euphemism for offensive firepower.
The game was played in a fairly steady rain, and by the eighth inning, lightning was flashing off in the distance. As the Tigers came to bat in the bottom of the eighth, fans were instructed to leave the seated area because of severe weather.
Yet the game continued. As does the Tigers' losing streak.
An RBI single by Colin Moran in the 10th inning provided the winning margin, as the Pirates handed the Tigers their fifth straight loss, 3-2.
