Sports: Tigers win on Walk-off
Tigers
The Tigers took a no-hitter into the 9th last night, lost it and the lead, but won the game 2-1 on a walk-off triple by Rajai Davis. Daniel Norris started for the Tigers and pitched a perfect five innings, before coming out of the game when he reached is pitch count limit. The Tigers took a 1-0 lead on a hit by James McCann. Relievers Buck Farmer, Ian Krol, and Drew Verhagen kept the no-hitter in tact until the 9th. But in the 9th, new closer Neftali Feliz gave up a triple and a single to blow the no-hitter and the lead. But, in the bottom of the 10th, Rajai Davis came thru with a triple to score Anthony Gose for the win. Blaine Hardy pitched a perfect 10th for the win.

Rondon Sent Home
The Tigers showcased their young arms last night against the White Sox, and flame-throwing righty Bruce Rondon wasn’t one of them. Rondon was sent home for the rest of the for lack of effort. The stocky closer, who usually throws 100 mph will have the winter to contemplate his baseball future.
