Perez came in with one out and none on in the 10th and quickly put runners on base, a single and a walk, but retired the next 2 on must have been pretty long fly to right (since the runner moved to 3rd) and a strikeout of Montero.

Bottom of the inning, with one out, the occassionally dangerous Shelley Duncan pinch hits for Damon and a RH pitcher enters the game.

Surprise, surprise: Duncan fans.

Casey at the Bat.

Casey fans. On to the 11th. We haven't seen Joe Smith or Vinnie Pestano.

SEattle with a run in the top of the 11th on a double to deep left; since I;m not listeing I can only wonder if the new LF Duncan played it right or wrong.

Bottom of the inning, Lopez walks, Choo fans, Kipnis walks.

Cabrera bats with the tying run in scoring position.

Tied up again, as Cabrera singles, Kipnis to 3rd, Travis bats with one away and another chance to be the hero. Fly ball could do it. groundball not such a good idea.

Not Travis; it is Cunningham, I guess he must have pinch run last time after all.

He takes a 5 pitch walk.

Sacks full for Santana.

Carlos takes ball 1

foul ball 1-1

foul ball 1-2

ball 2, even count

Detroit lost again. 4 game lead middle of May. Who would have thunk'it?

I guess we still have played mostly bad opponents, but not solely; we have had a series with Texas, one with Boston, a couple with the Angels who should be good. Still have to see Tampa; the Yankees, who may not be that much of a big deal without their injured pitchers; the Orioles who are overachieving as we are. And all those NL teams: which division do we play this year?

When Cunningham came up the Seattle TV team said Pronk had been on deck, so probably he had run as well. As for the double that scored the go-ahead run, it was to the wall in left-center and Duncan played it ok, threw in to a relay man whose throw home was not in time.

I was predicting an infield pop out for Duncan but he let me down.
