Way to go Pena!

The Tigers won their 4th straight game today against the Diamondbacks thanks to Carlos Pena's walk-off grandslam in the 9th inning with the score tied at 5-5. Rondell White also hit a 2 run homer to help the Tigers get back into the game.

The Tigers also won last night on a walk-off homer but that one was by Eric Munson. Munson's homer was the longest in Comerica Park History(457 feet).

The Tigers posted walk-off homers in consecutive games for the first time since Damion Easley and Tony Clark did it in three straight games in 1998. Pena's walk-off grand slam was Detroit's first since Lou Whitaker in 1994. (from detroittigers.com)

The Tigers are really starting to play much better. Their pitching has been a little weaker but their bats have picked it up.

The Tigers are now 35-39 on the season and are 6 games back of the division leading Twins.
