By Tristan Threlkeld - May 18, 2007

Not too much longer after the Cowboys tied the game up 2-2, Tigers first baseman John McKee hit a deep shot to centerfield for seventh homer of the season. The Cowboys went up in the bottom half and did no damage as Tigers starter Aarron Crow escaped without giving up a hit for the second time this game.

End of four 3-2 Tigers.

In the top of the fifth the Tigers continued to go deep off Breedlove. After he got the first two batters to go down quietly, Aaron Senne went deep to rightfield for his fifth homer of the season to stake the Tigers a 4-2 lead.

After 4.2 innings of work Jeff Breedlove was put to the bench in favor of Robbie Weinhardt, who boasts a 4.36 ERA and a 3-1 record. Well Weinhardt came in a gave up a single to Tiger Kyle Mach to put runners on the corners. Weinhardt escaped the inning when he got Gary Arndt to strikeout looking.

4-2 Tigers heading into the bottom half of the fifth.
