Sports: Wings Lose 3-2 in OT
The Red Wings blew a 2-0 lead and lost to Tampa Bay 3-2 in overtime. Tyler Johnson scored the winning goal 2:25 into overtime. Johnson and Ondrej Palat scored 1:17 apart late in the third period to force OT. The turning point in the game in the third period happened when Center Luke Glendenning was cut on the hand and had to leave the game. Until that point, Tyler Johnson’s line hadn’t done anything for the Lightning. After Glendenning left, they were all over the Wings, scoring three unanswered goals in a short period of time. Gustav Nyquist and Joakim Andersson scored second period goals for the Wings. Game five of the best-of-seven first round series is set for Saturday in Tampa. Game 6 will be in Detroit on Monday.

The Tigers lost to the Yankees, 2-1, and lose the series, dropping three out of four games. Brian McCann's eighth-inning groundout scored the go-ahead run. Jacoby Ellsbury tied the game at one on an Anibal Sanchez balk in the sixth. Detroit manager Brad Ausmus was ejected for arguing the balk. Masahiro Tanaka struck out six over six and a third innings of three-hit, one-run ball for the Yanks, and former Tiger Andrew Miller fanned two in the ninth for his sixth. Victor Martinez had a sac-fly in the first and J.D. Martinez had two hits for the Tigers. Detroit opens a three-game series against the Cleveland Indians tonight.

Nathan Done for the Season
The Tigers will play the rest of the year without closer Joe Nathan. The 40-year-old has a torn ligament in his pitching elbow that will require season-ending surgery. Nathan has come back from Tommy John surgery before, and he says he’ll be back again.
