CC Sabathia got an early 7-1 lead, and when that happens, it's okay to slip away and tune up and down the dial, to check on the other games. Not okay to stay gone too long, since anything can happen, even against the Yankees.
Upon returning to the Tigers, the score was 7-3. It became 8-3. Then 8-7, after a four run seventh, most of the damage coming off reliever David Robertson.Would the baseball godz enforce the one miracle per home stand limit?
Phil Coke, who rarely pitches well against his former teammates, gave up two runs in the eighth. Omar Infante homered in the Tigers' eighth and, with Cabrera and Fielder due up, the partisans readied for divine intervention.
Both made easy outs, and, in she ninth, the usually effective Brayan Villareal allowed two runs on three hits after retiring the first two batters. Rafael Soriano easily retired the last three Tiger hitters, and this one goes on the game log as an ugly 12-8 loss.
