St. Petersburg, Fla. — Mike Brosseau, who played baseball at Oakland University, came through in the 13th inning to finish a long night and end an extended scoring drought by the Tampa Bay Rays.
Brosseau’s pinch-hit RBI single in the 13th drove in Eric Sogard to give the Rays a 1-0 win over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday night in a game in which the Rays struck out 24 batters without walking any.
Sogard doubled off Matt Hall (0-1) with two outs and Tommy Pham was intentionally walked. Brosseau, batting for pitcher Colin Poche, singled to right-center field for the Rays’ first run since Wednesday, ending a streak of 29 scoreless innings.
