Not-so-routine DP leaves Tigers, A's dazed
Yonder Alonso catches Victor Martinez's popup and fires home, but the ball hits Martinez and interference is ruled for a double playOAKLAND -- The Tigers scored just enough runs to earn rookie Michael Fulmer his fourth victory with a 4-1 win over the A's on Friday. They would have had more were it not for a strange double play in the fifth inning as Victor Martinez was at the plate with a runner at third base.
With one out, Martinez hit a pop fly into foul territory that A's first baseman Yonder Alonso tracked down and caught. Alonso turned and threw to home plate, but the ball skipped past catcher Stephen Vogt.
