Live Tigers blog: Rays tie game in 1st

The Rays played a bit of small ball in the bottom of the first inning.

After Steven Souza Jr. doubled to lead off the frame, Kevin Kiermaier's sacrifice bunt moved him to third. Two batters later, with two outs, Rickie Weeks reached safely on a throwing error from shortstop Dixon Machado, scoring Souza.

After one, the game is tied at 1.

The Tigers got a leadoff home run from Ian Kinsler, who sent an 0-2 pitch from Rays reliever-turned-starter Erasmo Ramirez over the wall near the foul pole in left field.
