Tigers-Pirates, top of ninth

The Pirates travel to Tampa on Thursday to play the Yankees, head to Fort Myers on Friday to face the Twins and end the spring schedule Saturday at McKechnie against the Twins.
Then it's on to Atlanta for the games that count in the standings.
Left-hander Damaso Marte is on to finish up for the Pirates.
But not before Marcus Thames doubles.
I've seen some neat throwback jerseys the past couple days -- Roberto Clemente's No. 21 Pirates uniform, Harmon Killebrew of the Twins. Two very different players, both enshrined in Cooperstown.
Timo Perez just singled, so it's 7-4. Jim Leyland still has a shot against his former club.
Mike Hessman strikes out looking, bringing up Jeramy Laster as the minor-league show continues.
Laster strikes out and the Pirates win, 7-4. Can they make it three in a row against the Yankees?
