Tigers edge Cubs in 10th inning of back-and-forth contest

Detroit — It turned very quickly into a bullpen game for both teams on Saturday. And 14 pitchers and five lead changes later — it was hard to tell which team had the sixth lowest bullpen ERA (the Cubs) and which had baseball's highest bullpen ERA (the Tigers).

But in the end, it was the Tigers celebrating a walk-off win.

After the Cubs had scored a run in the top of the 10th off Michael Fulmer, the Tigers won it in the bottom of the inning off closer Craig Kimbrel. A one-out RBI single by Nomar Mazara tied it, then after pinch-runner JaCoby Jones stole second, Harold Castro, who had struck out in three previous at-bats, lined a winning single to left.
