Tigers 8, Palms 7
The top team in the AL Central took out the top team in the AL East in their three game set in Miami. The pitchers for the game were Blake Johnston and Justin Verlander, so the fact that neither recorded a decision is somewhat surprising. In fact, Verlander left while his team trailed, and when Johnston departed, Miami was in the lead. Brayan Pena hit a go ahead homer in the 8th, and the Tigers hit two solo homers in the 9th to put the necessary difference between the two teams. Miami crosses the border into Toronto on Friday.
