July 9th, 2008: Cleveland Indians 6 at Detroit Tigers 8 F -- Carlos Guillen has been saying it about the entire season. On Wednesday, he could say it about just this game. "It's not how you start. It's how you finish," Guillen said after Miguel Cabrera's walkoff two-run homer finished off the Tigers' largest comeback in two years with an 8-6 win over the Indians. Not since May 25, 2006, had the Tigers overcome a six-run deficit to win a game. The way the Tigers were going in this one, however, they needed to escape a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the fifth and then strand runners at the corners with none out in the sixth to keep it from getting much worse. Then they had to hit Indians starter Paul Byrd, who hasn't lost to the Tigers since around the time they last overcame a two-run deficit. Then they had to pounce on Rafael Betancourt, an unheard-of challenge last season which they've now done twice this year. Betancourt went 13 2/3 innings over 10 appearances without allowing a run to the Tigers last year. Once rookie Matt Joyce jumped on a belt-high 0-2 fastball and drove it to right for a game-tying, two-run homer in the seventh, he trotted home with Detroit's seventh run off Betancourt in three-plus innings this year.
