He had an RBI single in the first, then a sacrifice fly in the third. He has been terrific in the closer’s role for the Rangers all season, compiling a 2.60 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 61/12 K/BB ratio over 54 1/3 innings. Equally important to Detroit was getting a solid game from a starter.

“I do know it’s one thing that’s in heavy dialog of what to do”, Tigers common supervisor Al Avila stated. He’s 6 for 8 with a home run and two doubles against Hamels but hasn’t faced him since 2007.
