It's too bad the Tigers have to be judged on wins and losses and not on the incredible odds against what they just accomplished. In a parallel universe, they might be immortalized for pulling off such a remarkable feet. The Tigers blew a seven game lead on September 6. They blew...

Orlando Cabrera hit a two-run homer to give the Twins a 4-3 lead. He might as well have swung the bat right into Tiger Town's stomach. And Zach Miner's, for that matter.

Nick Punto makes Zach Miner work, and then goes the other way to punch a single to left leading off the bottom of the seventh.
Update: Span is not bunting, but given his high OBP he’s likely to advance Punto anyway. He falls behind 0-2 on two nice breaking balls by Miner.

And now, it's a bit too close for comfort at the Metrodome. Jason Kubel crushed a ball into orbit to cut the Tigers' lead to 3-2. Zach Miner took over for Rick Porcello and loaded the bases on a single and hit batsmen, but retired Matt Tolbert on a fly out to centerfield...

So far, it's been another rough one at Kauffman Stadium. But Jarrod Washburn looked pretty good. Especially if you compare his five innings to Zach Miner's one.
