The Detroit Tigers scored four runs in the seventh inning, then held off the Tampa Bay Rays for a 5-4 victory yesterday. The game was tied at one, until James McCann and J.D. Martinez each blasted two-run homers in the seventh. The eruption made a winner of Michael Fulmer, who gave up just one run on four hits through seven innings, while striking out 11. Justin Wilson replaced Fulmer to start the eighth, and gave three runs back. Francisco Rodriguez closed the game, and earned his 12th save. Cameron Maybin also homered for Detroit.
The Tigers wrap up that home set against the Rays this afternoon. Jordan Zimmermann will start against Chris Archer. Hear the first pitch at 1:10 on AM 1400 and FM 99.3, WCCY.

David Wright’s bases-loaded single off Michael Blazek in the bottom of the ninth won it for the Mets.
