DETROIT, May 31 (Reuters) - Detroit pitcher Max Scherzer(notes), who started the season a perfect 6-0, struggled for the second game in a row on Tuesday but the Tigers still scratched and clawed their way to an 8-7 victory over division rivals Minnesota.
Brennan Boesch(notes) broke a 7-7 tie with a sacrifice-fly RBI in the eighth inning to nose the Tigers (28-26) across the line in a game full of momentum swings and lead changes.
Detroit scored six runs in the fifth to erase a 3-0 deficit, only to fall behind 7-6 in the top of the seventh where Minnesota’s Justin Morneau(notes) hit a two-run home run, his second blast of the game.
Scherzer left the game in the seventh after allowing all seven runs. The right-hander has surrendered seven runs in each of his last two starts and is 6-2 after the no-decision.
