Andrew Romine singled and Nick Castellanos walked, putting two on with nobody out to start the eighth. Justin Upton singled in Romine (Castellanos to third), extending the Tigers’ lead with no outs. James McCann hit a sac fly to the deepest part of center field, scoring Castellanos and putting yet another insurance run on the board. Mike Aviles followed with a fielder’s choice, moving Upton to second. Ian Kinsler scored Upton with a 2-out single. Jose Iglesias reached when Alcides Escobar misplayed his grounder, extending the inning. Miguel Cabrera ended the inning on a fly ball to center field, but going to the bottom of the eighth, the Tigers lead 9-4.
