Tigers' first home win a dramatic one
Published 4/15/2008 by Jason Beck at Major League Baseball News
After a four-run sixth drew Detroit back into what looked like a runaway Twins victory, six more runs in the eighth turned it into the Tigers' first win at home this season. Ivan Rodriguez's game-tying triple and Jacque Jones' sacrifice fly made it a dramatic one, bringing in Rodriguez with the winning run in an 11-9 decision.
