2-3 (LOSS)

An old friend supplied all the runs for the Tigers in one swing of the bat, and the Athletics did not have the firepower to claw their way totally back resulting in the L.  On another note, the starter Kazmir only managed to pitch 3 innings before leaving the game with what appears to be a minor injury.
