Tigers Rally To Beat The Reds 7-6
CINCINNATI (WWJ/AP) - Austin Jackson makes his presence known after being activated from the disabled list over weekend helping the Detroit Tigers beat the Cincinnati Reds 7-6 on Sunday.
As heard on 97.1 The Ticket - Jackson hit a two-run double off Aroldis Chapman as the Tigers scored four runs in the eighth inning to take the lead after being behind 6-3 to start the inning.
Virtually unhittable all season, Chapman (4-2) entered with two on in the eighth and the Reds leading 6-3.
He gave up a single to pinch-hitter Brennan Boesch that loaded the bases and hit Matt Young with a pitch, forcing in a run.
Jackson's double tied it and Young scored the go-ahead run on Chapman's wild pitch, helping the Tigers take two of three in the interleague series.
Cincinnati wasted Todd Frazier's homer and career-high four RBIs.
The Reds dropped into a tie with Pittsburgh for first place in the NL Central with their third loss in four games.
