The Tigers nearly blew this one after leading the entire game. Alex Lange melted down in the ninth inning, but Will Vest and Miguel Cabrera were there to pick him up. The Tigers won in 10 innings by a 5-4 score, and they’ll go for the sweep on Sunday.
The big question heading into Saturday night’s contest in Anaheim was whether right-hander Sawyer Gipson-Long could live up to his stellar debut against the Chicago White Sox last weekend. He clearly has the stuff, but whether he could command it all against a good lineup needs a little more proving.
