Tigers climb out of 4-0 hole, but drop opener 6-5 to Marlins

Miami — They came to celebrate Miguel Cabrera and were treated to a pretty entertaining baseball game.

The Marlins scored twice off reliever Jason Foley in the eighth inning and beat the Tigers 6-5 in the first of three at LoanDepot Park.

Foley gave up three straight singles − to Jesus Sanchez, Yuli Gurriel and an RBI single by Jon Berti − plus a sacrifice fly after the Tigers had rallied to tie the game in the top of the eighth.

The Tigers, who climbed out of a 4-0 hole, didn't go quietly in the ninth.
