Host Rangers Drop Pivotal Game 5, Now Trail Series 3-2
Game 5 was big. So was Matt Cain.

The Detroit starter rose to the occasion at The Ballpark in Arlington 1994-2011 today, leading the Tigers to a crucial 4-1 victory over the Texas Rangers. Cain threw 6.1 innings of 5-hit ball as the Tigers won on the road to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 Wild Card Series.

Detroit used the bat of Carlos Pena to capture the win. The designated hitter jacked a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Tigers ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a dandy.

Pena said his team "played with determination."

Game 6 is scheduled for Sunday at Comerica Park in Detroit.
