12th inning grand slam

Today's Tigers vs. Orioles game was a long one - it took 12 innings before either side scored. By the time Craig Monroe hit a grand slam it seemed like another day had passed since Justin Verlander's outstanding outing - he pitched for 7 innings giving up only 3 hits and 3 walks while striking out 5. Unfortunately his valiant pitching effort ended in a no decision.

Brandon Inge was back in the starting lineup and he collected his first hit of the season. He went 1 for 5 with a walk. The boys faced off against former teammate Jamie Walker who pitched a scoreless inning and struck out 2.

The Orioles tried to battle back in the bottom of the 12th - they picked up 1 run leaving a final score of 4-1.

Tigers record: 5-3
