Tony Graffanino had a hand in Detroit defeating Baltimore by the score of 5-3. Graffanino went 2 for 3 at the plate, scoring 1 times and driving in 3 runs. Detroit has now won 3 in a row.

Graffanino had a game-changing double in the top of the sixth. On a first pitch cutter from Jeff Nelson, he banged a 2-run double to right, giving the Tigers a 3-2 lead. It was the 20th double of the year for Graffanino.

"You've got to ride the highs and the lows in baseball in order to succeed," Graffanino told the Detroit News. "Right now I'm feeling good, but that don't mean squat for tomorrow."
