We couldn’t get nothin’ going. Nothin’.

That changed, thank god, in the top of the ninth: but before we properly ride off into the sunset, let us not forget this game would have ended 2-1 with the following opportunites squandered:

Bases loaded, no outs. Rajai Davis and Suarez strike out. And there were several others I’m not recapping because we all know what it is: bringing runners on third base in with less than two outs. Just do it, Tigers.

NOW, BACK TO THE GAME.

Martinez watched three batters in front of him: Torii Hunter worked a walk, Miguel Cabrera worked a hit, and Victor Martinez frustratingly flied out. That brought up J.D., who sent Cleveland’s hopes to dead center field. 4-2, final score.
