Description: Tigers starter Doug Fister took a shutout into the ninth inning Wednesday against the Rays but he gave up three runs in the inning while getting just one out. | Insight: Detroit was blanked by Alex Cobb and Tampa Bay's bullpen on the other side, so Fister likely wouldn't have recorded a win anyway. The right-hander threw seven shutout innings his last time out so he was going on 15 consecutive scoreless frames prior to the ninth-inning meltdown. Fister has a 3.27 ERA and has walked just 12 batters in 77 innings this season. | | |
