Jim Leyland sat in his office, his lucky cigar resting unlit in a nearby ashtray. He's going to throw the unused portion away -- and get a clean change of underwear -- now that his team's 12-game winning streak came to an end. "I'll still smoke some of it," Leyland said. "It's a $40 cigar and was a gift after all." David DeJesus hit a three-run homer in the first, Brandon McCarthy pitched seven strong innings and the Oakland Athletics snapped Detroit's longest winning streak in 77 years with a 6-1 victory on Thursday night, delaying the Tigers' chance to clinch the AL Central Division title.
