Detroit — That was a long day at the ballpark.

And, for the Tigers, it was worth the wait.

The Tigers blew a 6-1 lead, and trailed, 9-7, entering the bottom of the ninth inning on a day when there were two lengthy rain delays and even an umpire delay, when plate ump Andy Fletcher had to leave due to an apparent illness.

The Tigers were 6-0 on the home stand, and now head to Boston for a four-game series at Fenway Park.
