MLB
Bud Norris’ wild pitch with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth allowed Victor Reyes to race home with the winning run, as the Detroit Tigers edged the Saint Louis Cardinals 4-3 last evening. The Tigers carried a 3-0 lead into the eighth inning, thanks to seven one-hit innings by Matthew Boyd. Boyd left after giving up a solo home run and a walk in the eighth. Shane Greene allowed a two-run homer as the Cardinals tied the contest in the top of the ninth. In the bottom of the ninth, Detroit took advantage of an error, a walk, and intentional walk to load the bases, before a low Norris curve ball skipped past the catcher to end the game.
The Tigers host the Cardinals again this afternoon. Michael Fulmer will start against John Gant. Pregame coverage will begin at 12:45 on 99.3 The Lift.
