The Tigers held a 1-0 lead until things on the mound slipped from Galarraga. He went nearly seven innings pitched but gave up 10 hits, 3 earned runs and the lead for the Orioles.
Fans got their money's worth seeing a total of 30 hits in tonight's game and both teams made for a dramatic finish seeing the Tigers lose the lead in the 7th. But in the bottom of the ninth Johnny Damon leads off with a walk and then with one out Cabrera steps in and crushes one over the bull pen in left field and the Tigers are tied at five with the Orioles.
After a couple of extra innings Austin Jackson led off in the bottom of the 11th and reaches with a hard line drive up the middle. Then Damon steps in the batter's box and takes a couple of pitches before he drills one right over Nick Markakis' head.
Not only did Damon win the game for his team tonight, he also earned his 2,500th hit earlier as well.
With a struggling bull pen tonight and seeing numerous pitching changes on both sides, the Tigers kept their emotions aside and played hard baseball all the way through and picked up an eventful and wild win.
