Ventura regrets not challenging close play at second

DETROIT -- Robin Ventura admitted that "we all missed it" after watching a replay of the play at second leading off the bottom of the ninth inning of Friday's 2-1 loss to the Tigers at Comerica Park.

Nick Castellanos opened the frame with a line drive to right off of Zach Duke that Avisail Garcia couldn't quite corral, and then he tested Garcia's arm by trying to stretch his single into a double. Garcia's throw easily beat Castellanos, but second-base umpire Brian O'Nora ruled that shortstop Alexei Ramirez missed the tag.
