Swisher Walks
Nick Swisher walks to start the inning. Despite Rogers starting to leave his pitches up, Leyland is leaving Rogers in the game. Is Jim pulling a Grady Little?
Update: Rogers gets Scutaro to ground to third. The Tigers get the force at second, but are late turning the double play. And that's it for Rogers. Another impressive outing for the veteran lefty.
Update: Rodney induces Kielty to hit into a double play to end the inning. The A's are three outs away from a 3-0 deficit.
An immediate Rodney-induced GIDP sends Rogers out of the game with his shutout streak intact. It's rather inspiring to see someone who was previously so futile in the postseason suddenly become seemingly impossible to score upon...at the age of 41, no less.
Another A's GiDB. Their weak points are up in lights here.
