Coco Crisp got to second to lead off the sixth inning because of a misplayed ground ball by Prince Fielder. He got to third on a wild pitch. He scored on a gapper by Stephen Drew, who was thrown out selfishly trying to take third base with nobody out.
Max Scherzer has been lifted from the game, giving up just three hits and the one run. He struck out eight.
Scherzer cruised through four innings and looked like he might go deep into this game.
It’s up to the Tigers bullpen to finish this one off. Octavio Dotel and Phil Coke teamed up to get out of the inning.
