Here’s what the record books and stat sheet said about the Tigers’ comeback Thursday night at Tampa Bay:
- According to STATS, it’s the Tigers’ seventh win in the last 100 years after trailing by five or more runs in the ninth. The last time was Sept. 21, 2013, when they turned a 6-0 deficit in the ninth into a 7-6 win in the 12th. Detroit hit for the cycle in the ninth, including an Andy Dirks three-run homer off Nate Jones.
- It’s the first time since July 7, 1922 that the Tigers scored eight or more runs after entering the ninth inning down five or more runs.
