Detroit – It became a race against Mother Nature.
With a rain storm fast approaching the downtown area Sunday afternoon, the Tigers and Athletics were locked in a 3-3 tie heading into the final three innings. What would arrive first, a go-ahead run or the rain?
Answer: The go-ahead run.
And, as has happened the last seven games, the final go-ahead run was scored against the Tigers.
Stephen Piscotty slapped a two-out, two-run double into the gap in right-center field in the seventh inning to put the A’s up 5-3.
