Anaheim, Calif. — You ask what could Tigers rookie right-hander Sawyer Gipson-Long do for an encore after winning his major league debut last week?
How about this: Achieving something no Tigers pitcher had done since Hall-of-Famer Jack Morris in 1977.
Gipson-Long struck out 11 hitters in five innings Saturday and left with a 4-1 lead.
That lead held until the bottom of the ninth when the Angels rallied for three runs off Alex Lange and sent the game into extra innings.
Miguel Cabrera, in what might be his final game at Angel Stadium (he is expected to be off Sunday), rescued the night.
