Game Notes

Tigers stay alive with a 7-5 win over the Rangers.

Detroit uses a 6th-inning outburst to send the series back to Texas for a Game 6. Tied 2-2, Miguel Cabrera breaks the tie with an RBI double scoring Ryan Rayburn, and then Cabrera scores on Victor Martinez's triple off C.J. Wilson. Rayburn adds a solo HR in the 7th giving the Tigers a 7-2 cushion.

Justin Verlander goes 7 1/3 innings, allowing 8 hits and 4 runs while striking out 8 and helping to save a worn-out Tigers' bullpen. Phil Coke goes the final 1 2/3 innings to keep the Rangers from rallying to clinch the series.
