The Tigers managed to bring in two in the sixth to go ahead 7-6. The rams tied it up again in the seventh off of a homer to left field. The Tigers looked to Jason Gomez to take the mound with bases loaded and two outs. He got the Tigers out of the jam by striking out the final batter. Going into the ninth tied up, Noah Suarez lead off the inning by getting to second due to a Rams error to put him in scoring position. After having a homer earlier in the game, the Rams intentionally walked Earl. Medina showed up big for the Tigers with a walk off single to right field to bring Suarez in for the winning run.
