The Tigers got off to another hot start scoring four runs in the first inning in the final game against Texas.
Austin Jackson started off with a base hit then two quick walks to Damon and Ordonez set the table for Cabrera. Cabrera drove one into left field and allowing Jackson to score a run and Ryan Rayburn doubled on a fly ball to left field and clearing the bases. With great offensive production from the Tigers early on they fizzed out yet again in the middle innings and this time almost let one slip through their fingers.
This would be the opposite for the Rangers as they scored for four consecutive innings in the 4th through 7th. But Miguel Cabrera who has been hot this season across the board and Brandon Inge put up back-to-back home runs in the top of the 9th to secure a win and split the series with the Rangers.
If the Tigers can win the series against biggest division rival Minnesota Twins this week they'll be able to regain the division lead like they had in the first two weeks of the season.
