Diamondbacks Bang Out 6-1 Win Versus Detroit
Arizona pitcher Alex Fernandez did his part in helping his team beat the Detroit Tigers, 6-1. The right-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. Detroit's current losing streak is now 6 games.

In the bottom of the fifth, with Arizona leading 2-1, Moises Alou hit a fastball from Felipe Lira for a 2-run double, giving the Diamondbacks the lead, 4-1.

Alou said his wife shared good advice with him before the game. "She said, 'Don't allow this game to make you mad.' When I thought about it, I realized this is just a game. I was able to relax at the plate."
