    Brayan Pena knew the collision was coming. All that mattered was keeping grasp of the ball.

    "It doesn't matter where your body is going to go, just hold onto the baseball," he said.

    Pena, Detroit's catcher, held onto Prince Fielder's relay throw and absorbed a collision with Justin Smoak at home plate for the final out, and the Tigers outlasted the Seattle Mariners 2-1 in 14 innings Wednesday night.
