Farnsworth Flies
Kyle Farnsworth manages to make his trade not work for both teams. The Tigers are up 3-1 on the Rays when they bring in Kyle to pitch the eighth. He gives up a solo shot to Eric Hinske leading off the inning, then a two-run shot to B.J. Upton. He puts the Tigers in a hole and may prevent the Yankees from gaining a game on Tampa Bay.
Update: Granderson homers to tie the game in the top of the ninth as Percival blows the save.

Wow, that was some bad late relief. Cabrera homers in the tenth to give Detroit the lead, but Fernando Rodney walks the lead-off, hits the next guy, Iwamura bunts them to second and third, Rodney walks another batter, the Carl Crawford singles in a run. Rodney finally gets a batter: Evan Longoria strikes out. And then Rodney walks Pena and the Rays win.
