THANKS, BOSOX!: Tigers lose lead in makeup at Camden Yards, but Twins blow chance at Fenway: 94-loss Royals on deck for three games in K.C.
Byline: Jon Paul Morosi
Sep. 22--BALTIMORE -- The Tigers had been tested like this before. And they had passed every time.
Thirteen times since assuming sole possession of first place May 21, they played with a lead of one game or less. Thirteen times, they won. Yes, they have allowed a 10-game lead to virtually disappear, but never had they lost when first place in the American League Central was at stake -- until Thursday.
The Tigers took a one-run lead into the bottom of the eighth inning, but lost to the Baltimore Orioles, 4-3, at Camden Yards. Melvin Mora turned on a wayward change-up from Fernando Rodney (7-4) for the winning double in the eighth. Curtis Granderson, who had continued his resurgence with a double and home run earlier, struck out to end it, just shy of 7 p.m.
Minutes later, up the coast, Minnesota leadoff hitter Luis Castillo stepped into the batter's box at Fenway Park. The Twins had never spent a day in first place this season, and this was their chance. The game, though, became much like their season: They never led. Ace Johan Santana struggled, former Twin David Ortiz homered twice, and Boston saved the Tigers with a 6-0 victory.
