Top 8th: Tigers 5, Pirates 2
Perhaps Clint Hurdle should have brought in A.J. Schugel earlier. Schugel set the Tigers down in order and has performed well since coming on for Arquimedes Caminero following Jarrod Saltalamacchia's sixth inning grand slam.
J.D. Martinez grounded out harmlessly back to the mound, Nick Castellanos flew out to right field and Saltalamacchia flew out to center field to end the inning.
Bottom 7th: Tigers 5, Pirates 2
Justin Wilson got the call for the Tigers in the seventh and he delivered, setting Pittsburgh down in order.
