4/7/08: Red Sox at Tigers
Duration: 202:37Source: iTunes
May 7th, 2008: Boston Red Sox 9 at Detroit Tigers 10 F -- Placido Polanco didn't worry about trying to do too much. All he worried about was getting just a little on that soft line drive to fall in between shortstop and left field. He got just enough of it to drop it in. Amazingly, it was the deepest hit of the Tigers' game-winning rally. The slugging Tigers' first walk-off win of the season featured just one ball out of the infield, and barely at that. Given how much Detroit's 10-9 comeback victory over Boston on Wednesday meant, it was fitting. A lineup that manager Jim Leyland saw was pressing during a five-game losing streak ended it with a style of small-ball few thought they could play. "It was a nice win for us," Leyland said, "and we kind of got it the unexpected way." Sixteen of the Tigers' 18 hits were singles, and their only extra bases came on a pair of doubles. When Polanco's fifth hit of the night scored Edgar Renteria with the deciding run, it marked just the third time this season that they pulled out a game without hitting a home run.
