DETROIT - Brennan Boesch broke an eighth-inning tie with a
sacrifice fly, and the Detroit Tigers went on to beat the Minnesota
Twins 8-7 on Tuesday night.
After Danny Worth led off the bottom of the eighth with a
single, Austin Jackson tried to bunt him to second. Reliever Phil
Dumatrait (0-1) tried to get the force play but threw late and
wildly to second. Casper Wells then bunted the runners to second
and third before Boesch hit a fly ball to right.
Justin Morneau hit two home runs for Minnesota, including a
two-run shot in the seventh that gave the Twins a brief 7-6 lead.
Al Alburquerque (3-1) pitched a perfect eighth to win in relief
for the second straight day, and Joaquin Benoit pitched the ninth
for his second save.
