The Detroit Tigers and Tampa Bay Rays needed extra innings at Comerica Tigers Park to determine a winner.

The Detroit Tigers powered past the Tampa Bay Rays, 9-8, in 10 innings at Comerica Tigers Park. Johan Sala went 2-4 with 2 doubles and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2, to lead the charge. The American League Central Division-leading Tigers are 86-48.

The Tigers got a clutch hit from catcher Johandry Cortez. In the bottom of the tenth, he delivered a run-scoring single to win the game for the Tigers.

"Baseball is a wild game -- a crazy game, sometimes," said Sala.
