Tigers rally past A's to force decisive ALDS Game 5
Detroit pins hopes on Max Scherzer as Jhonny Peralta homers and Victor Martinez hits a deciding solo shot in the seventh to pull the Tigers within one win of leveling the series. Oakland led early as Coco Crisp fueled the A's, but a late rally with Omar Infante's two-run double and Cespedes's two-run single kept Detroit alive. Umpires reviewed Martinez's homer after overzealous fan interference but upheld the score, setting up a potential Game 5 with Justin Verlander slated to start for Detroit.
