Tigers-Pirates, bottom of seventh

Detroit grows their pitchers tall. Their latest reliever is a 6-foot-5 right-hander, Dominican Denny Bautista, who was acquired in an off-season trade with Colorado.
Ronny Paulino nearly takes Denny's head off with a line-drove single up the middle.
Some baseball trivia, you'll always get a charge from. Did you know that in 1971, the Pirates' pitching staff included John Lamb, Bob Moose and Bob Veale?
Pass the mint jelly and sweet potatoes, please.
Today's attendance has been announced at 6,106, making this the second-largest crowd in McKechnie Field history (the largest, 6,221, came against Toronto in 1994).
It also is the seventh sellout of the spring, tying the record established last year.
