Yes, Detroit can still Hit
Scott Kazmir gave up six hits in five innings while walking two and striking out eight. That should be such a bad line, but four of the six hits left the ballpark. Scott gives up four solo home runs, giving him 23 allowed on the season. All four were solo shots; because he does allow a low OBA, 18 of his 23 home runs allowed came with no one on. Think Curt Schilling in 2001 without as many innings.
The Rays fall 7-5, but a Boston loss still gives them the division.
