Live blog: Tigers add insurance runs in 8th

Top 8th: Tigers 7, Athletics 1

The Jim Aducci show continued as the hot-hitting journeyman drilled a leadoff double to left-center. After James McCann struck out swinging for the third time tonight, Jose Iglesias delivered for the Tigers with an RBI triple to right field that pushed the lead to 6-1.

They would add another tally to that lead.

With a runner on third, Andrew Romine hit what should have been a routine ground ball to third base, but Trevor Plouffe couldn't come up with it, leaving the Tigers with runners on the corners and just one out.
