Tigers even series with Cubs; Andy Ibanez has career night with two homers

Detroit — The Tigers and Cubs played another round of rock-em, sock-em baseball Tuesday night. Oddly enough, the Tigers took two shots in the bottom of the eighth inning and ended up plating the insurance run, evening the series with an 8-6 win at Comerica Park.

In a one-run game, Cubs reliever Jose Cuas hit two batters, including Kerry Carpenter with the bases loaded. The Tigers threw the big punches earlier.

The early rounds featured a slug-out between Andy Ibanez and Chicago's Dansby Swanson.

Ibanez, the Tigers’ second baseman, slugged a pair of home runs and knocked in four.
