Detroit — The Tigers didn't execute a play with two outs in the second inning that cost them a run. They had a runner thrown out at the plate in the third inning with no outs. They left runners in scoring position with less than two outs in the third, fourth and ninth innings.
So, yes, the Pirates officially won Tuesday's game 5-3 in the 10th inning when Starling Marte, with two outs, hit a hanging slider from Shane Greene into the visitor's bullpen. But the Tigers contributed to their own demise long before that.
"You know what, we battled," Gordon Beckham said.
