Lowrie's slam helps A's rally from 4 down, beat Tigers 9-8

"I've faced Alex before, and I know he's got a good cutter," Lowrie said.

Lowrie hit a go-ahead grand slam in the eighth inning, and the Oakland Athletics overcame a four-run deficit to beat the Detroit Tigers 9-8 Tuesday night.

"I was able to get on top of it," Lowrie said. "We ground out a lot of at bats to get back in it, and it ends up as a fun night of baseball."

The start of the game was delayed 15 minutes after afternoon rain, and the nine innings stretched on for 3 hours, 58 minutes.
