The Tigers struck first. Cannarella reached on an error, and Wright singled him in, but Gordon gave up a 3-run HR in the bottom half.



TIGERS TRAIL 3-1 AFTER ONE.

Wright walks on full count! Bases loaded with 2 outs for Mathes! Tying run on first, go-ahead run at the plate.

Ugh Mathes grounds out to end the game with the bases loaded. At least the Tigers didn't go quietly. Just their second loss of the season, snaps their 11-game win streak. They are now 15-2. Game 2 in Durham is tomorrow at 3:00, and I'll have live updates right here!


TIGERS LOSE 5-2.
