 When you score four runs, you can afford to have those go against you, and that is a winning recipe there. However, they could not bake the same winning cake in Game 3, losing 6-2. Tyler Holton was the starting pitcher. No decision after he only got one and two-thirds innings in. Both teams scored one run in the first. Matt Veerling reached double-digit home runs with his tenth of the year, a solo shot. Things would stay deadlocked at one until the top of the fourth with Montero on the mound for Detroit.
