Tigers smokin' hot hitter Jon Mayes would help the Tigers tie the game in the 6th with an RBI single. Then in the 7th, the Tigers would take the lead on an error, Field single, and Mikey Vernon RBI single. John Silk (2-4, 2r, 2 RBI) & Mayes (2-4, 2 RBI) helped give the Tigers some cushion going into the bottom half of the 7th. J. Lam picked up the W in relief working a scoreless 6th & 7th. Both Tiger starter Josh Vernon (0 ER, 4 h, 4 k) & Brian Houlding pitched well helping to keep the Tigers in the game. A's stud Nick Tapper had a mutiple hit game for the A's.
