Lowrie's slam helps A's rally from 4 down, beat Tigers 9-8

Jed Lowrie was ready Los Angeles Dodgers jerseys for Alex Wilson.

"I've faced Alex before, and I know he's got a good cutter," Lowrie said.

Lowrie hit a go-ahead grand slam in the eighth inning, and the Oakland Athletics overcame a four-run deficit to beat the Detroit Tigers 9-8 Tuesday night.

"I was able to get on top Chicago Cubs Jerseys of it," Lowrie said. "We ground out a lot of at bats to get back in it, and it ends up as a fun night of baseball."

The start of the game was delayed 15 minutes after afternoon rain, and the nine innings stretched on for 3 hours, 58 minutes.

"When it isn't vital to win a game for a pennant race, it takes some of the energy out of the game," New York Yankees jerseys Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. "Both teams battled all night tonight, though."

Detroit trailed 3-0 in the third inning, then took an 8-4 lead into the seventh, when Ryon Healy hit a bases-loaded Houston Astros Jerseys grounder to shortstop Jose Iglesias, who bobbled the ball for an error as Lowrie scored.

Joey Wendle, Franklin Barreto and Chad Pinder started the eighth with singles off Wilson (2-5), and Lowrie followed with his third career slam.

Wilson entered with a 3.07 ERA since moving into the setup role after the Tigers traded Justin Wilson to the Chicago Cubs.

"He's been really good for us all year," Ausmus said. "The nature of pitching at the back end of the bullpen means that you are going to be in a lot of close games, so when you make a mistake, it probably costs your team the lead."

Miguel Cabrera singled off Chris Hatcher starting the bottom of the eighth and took third on Nicholas Castellanos' double. But Jeimer Candelario grounded out and, after an intentional walk, Hatcher struck out James McCann and Mikie Mahtook.
