Tigers vs. Rangers: Brandon Inge Ties Game With Solo Shot

With two outs in the bottom of the seventh, Brandon Inge was facing Alexi Ogando. In his career, Brandon Inge is 2-for-16,408 against right-handers, with those two hits coming off Tim Wakefield. That might not be completely accurate, but if you can think of a free site with all sorts of baseball stats, I'd like to hear about it.

The Tigers were down 3-2, and the vaunted Rangers bullpen was doing its thing. Ogando was pumping gas by Detroit hitters, and the Rangers could stat counting outs.

Then Inge hit a home run to tie the game. Of course he did.

Inge, who went the minors because he would have been released otherwise, who played on a 119-loss Tigers team, hit a booming homer to left against Ogando. It’s probably worth a note that it wouldn’t have been a home run before they moved the fences in at Comerica. But then Inge probably knew that, seeing as he’s been on the Tigers since 1985.

The crowd demanded a curtain call, which he gladly gave. If the Tigers win this game, it would be pretty amazing to think Inge had a part of it.
