MLB – McCann Powers Tigers to Late Win
James McCann’s home run in the ninth inning yesterday lifted the Detroit Tigers to a 5-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Chicago starter Jeff Samardzija had held Detroit scoreless through seven inning, while the White Sox built a 4-0 lead. The Tigers tied the game with four runs in the eighth, powered by a bases-loaded double by Victor Martinez. Joakim Soria pitched a perfect ninth, and McCann ended it by sending a Zach Putnam pitch over the center field fence. It was the first time in 31 games this season that Detroit earned a victory after trailing in the seventh inning.
