Detroit — The last team standing in a crazy back-and-forth ballgame at Comerica Park Friday night was — not the American League East-leading Tampa Bay Rays.
Jonathan Schoop hit a grand slam home run in the bottom of the seventh inning off reliever Andrew Kittredge that sent the Tigers on their way to a rousing 10-4 win.
Schoop's fifth career grand slam and his 20th homer of the season erased a 4-3 deficit. Victor Reyes' three-run home run in the bottom of the eighth, a career-long 429-foot bomb to right field, erased all drama and intrigue from a game that was previously thick with it.
