Detroit put up a minor threat in their half of the ninth, getting a runner on second, but once again they were unable to produce with a man in scoring position. Ramon Santiago hit a deep liner down the right field line, but it was tracked down by Span for the third out.
We’re now in the top of the 10th with Brandon Lyon still on the mound for the Tigers.
