Detroit&#8217;s Frank Tanana had allowed just a solo shot to Joe DiMaggio into the 6th when DiMaggio added a 2nd homer, and Joe Gordon added another later in the inning to cut the lead to 6-4. Oakland&#8217;s Hank Greenberg hit a sac fly in the 7th to get the Jacks within a run. Detroit brought in closer Tom Henke, but Robin Yount took him deep to tie the game in the 8th. Connie Mack made a fateful decision to leave Mariano Rivera in the pen, bringing in Bullet Rogan to face the Rockets in the bottom of the 8th. With two on and 2 out, Kenny Loften hit a go-ahead RBI double, and Manny Ram\u00edrez followed with a 2-run double. Henke pitched a scoreless 9th to give Detroit the 9-6 win. Oakland is 12-13 heading into the break, while Detroit is 14-12. \u00c1lex Rodr\u00edguez was 3 for 3 with two homeruns, a walk, and 4 RBI to lead the Rockets. It&#8217;s the 3rd multi-homer game this season for Rodr\u00edguez. Ram\u00edrez was 2 for 5 with 3 RBI in a rare start. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/?sp_event=592\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Oakland @ Detroit &#8211; 4\/28\/22<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Detroit Rockets blew a 6-1 lead over Mike Mussina, but scored 3 runs late to beat the Oakland Jacks in the final American League game before the All-Star break.
