The White Sox rough up Brad Penny for 8 runs over 5 innings, including home runs by Alexei Ramirez, Alejandro de Aza and Brent Morel, to take an 8 – 1 lead over the Tigers, but the Bengals stage a dramatic comeback. They claw back to enter the bottom of the 9th trailing 8 – 6, then Ryan Raburn hits a two-run homer to tie the score and Miguel Cabrera follows with a walk-off home run, both shots traveling well over 400 feet at Comerica Park. The 9th-inning power outburst earns Luis Marte his first major league win.
