Tigers 9, White Sox 7 (11)
Jim Leyland's 3,000th game as a manager was an 11-inning marathon that took more than four hours to complete, and Detroit's skipper was feeling a bit nostalgic.
He wanted to savor this one.
Brandon Inge came around on Gerald Laird's tiebreaking single in the 11th inning and the Tigers escaped with a 9-7 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday night when Manny Ramirez struck out looking with the bases loaded for the final out.
Leyland became the 18th manager to work 3,000 games, and this was as wild as any. He watched the Tigers score six against John Danks in the seventh to take a 7-3 lead only to have the bullpen give it away in the ninth.
