The Detroit Tigers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays, 5-4, in 12 innings in American League action at Comerica Tigers Park. Detroit pitcher Luis Muñóz had a standout performance. The American League Central Division-leading Tigers have a record of 84-48.

The decisive blow was delivered by Dan Jackson in the bottom of the 12th when he hit a run-scoring double off 31-year old right-handed pitcher Tony Larkin to win the game for Detroit. The home crowd went nuts.

"Luis was pounding the zone," said Detroit manager Robert Carson.
