The Tigers led tonight's game three times, and each time the Orioles tied the score.
They did so and took the lead in a five-run bat-around seventh that seemed like it would never end. Punctuating the frame were a Mike Reynolds two-run double, and a wild throw home by right fielder Don Kelly that allowed two runners to take extra bases.
Opportunity nonetheless presented itself in the Tigers' eighth. Cabrera walked, and Kelly doubled him to third. A hit would make the score 9-7, and really make things interesting. Ryan Raburn, however, expanded his cap bill-shoelaces strike zone to a foot in front of the plate, and waved at a pitch that bounced in the dirt for strike three.
They went down one-two-three in the ninth, and will stumble home for tomorrow's opener with a not-impressive 2-4 record.
