In a game that featured no pitching, several Tigers had big nights. Amongst them was Curtis Granderson (5 hits, 3 runs, 2 RBI), Placido Polanco (2 hits, 2 runs, 3 RBI), Miguel Cabrera (3 hits, 1 run, 4 RBI) and Gary Sheffield ahad 4 hits.  The Tigers managed to get out of three bases loaded jams including the 10th and 12th innings.  Detroit will finish up the 4 game series Thursday with the Indians before heading to Tampa Bay to take on the Rays Friday.
