Tigers Need Extra Frames to Get Past Rockies
Tino Martinez was instrumental in his team's 5-3 triumph over the Colorado Rockies. The first baseman was 4 for 5 with a home run and 2 doubles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2 for the Detroit Tigers. Detroit reliever Rigo Beltran was the winner. His record is now 2-2. The losing pitcher was Brett Gideon. The Tigers' win now puts them at 21-45.

The Rockies had been locked in a 3-3 tie with the Tigers going into the top of the tenth inning. That changed quickly when the 25-year old second baseman Howard Battle came to the plate. Battle hit a run-scoring single on a 1-1 sinker from Colorado hurler Brett Gideon. It was Battle's 46th hit of the year.

"Exciting game to play in," said Battle. "Getting the win makes it even better."
