Live Blog 11: Who's this flame-thrower?

Denny Bautista may be the Tigers savior.


For all you Detroit fans, all those Verlander and Bonderman owners, this guy may be huge for your team.

Mainly used as a spot starter the past four years (21 starts in 35 appearances since 2004), Bautista came into a tie game in the 11th, gave up a single and SB, but also threw some major heat by Alex Gordon and Jose Guillen, getting Guillen on a 99-mph fastball. Billy Butler flew out to left.

We're now in the 11th inning in Detroit. Still 4-4.

The Tigers well-documented depleted bullpen is desperate for a guy like Bautista. And more. 

Jim Leyland usually has something up his sleeve.
