"I definitely wish I would have had that pitch back, I wish I would have slowed the game down a little bit more, but it was just a bad pitch. I knew that he was probably geared for a fastball right there, so I just didn't throw it where I wanted to throw it."

Wade Miley looked good for 6.2 Innings before hitting a wall and losing the strike zone. Travis Hafner had the big hit in the 8th.

The Excitement of a Clean Hit

Tom Verducci and friends can complain all they want about collisions at the plate. With the score tied 1-1 after a marathon affair, the Tigers/Mariners game ended in about the most exciting manner imaginable - and Buster Posey wasn't injured. No one seems to be complaining now.
