McKinstry's blast gives Tigers 10-inning victory over Rockies

Special to The Detroit News

It felt like another game in which the Tigers offense would go cold, this time in the high altitude of Coors Field.

After a miserable June stretch, Zach McKinstry’s three-run homer in the top of the 10th inning might have given the Tigers the jumpstart they need for a new month, as they defeated the Colorado Rockies 4-2 Saturday night.

The Tigers have more experience in extra frames than most teams, this being their 12th extra-innings game this season.
