Live Tigers blog: Verlander pulled in 8th

Tigers reliever Alex Wilson strikes out Brian Dozier and ends the eighth inning by inducing a ground out from pinch-hitter Darin Mastroianni.

The Tigers lead 6-3 entering the bottom of the eighth.

Justin Verlander's final stat line: 7.1 innings, three earned runs on six hits, 10 strikeouts, three walks.

Uh-oh, Plouffe hits two-RBI single

This isn't happening again, right?

Trevor Plouffe’s two-RBI single off Tigers reliever Alex Wilson cuts the Tigers lead to 6-3 in the eighth.

The next batter, Brian Dozier, hit a towering fly ball down the left field line that flirted with the foul pole — if it's fair, it's a two-run homer — but it was ruled foul.
