Neither Starter was around to get a decision as they both gave their teams a chance. The Tigers Rick Porcello went seven strong allowing five hits and an unearned run while he struck out six. The Angels Starter equally as effective as Porcello in Hector Santiago kept his Halos in it going 5 1/3 innings allowing a run on three hits as he gave up his only run in the 1st off of Victor Martinez Two-Bagger to make it 1-0.
The Halos get their 1st run in the 5th on a Porcello throwing error with Erick Aybar on 3rd to tie the game at 1-1. That's when the stage was set for 2011 Mr. Clutch for the #RedOctober Halos Hot Corner David Freese as he hits the Phone Booth on Tigers reliever Joba Chamberlain and becomes "Frozone". "I'm just looking for a Slide Piece....just looking for a Slide Piece...Freese" and there is goes as he hits a Solo Bomb in the 8th for a Halos 2-1 "W" as they take three of four from the AL Central leading Tigers.
The Halos move to 63-41 which is 1.5 games back of MLB's Best the Oakland Athletics and their 64-39 W-L. The Tigers fall to 57-45 but remain five up on the 2nd place Kansas City Royals.
