Tigers Win at Baltimore, 4-2
Detroit rode a good effort from starter Felipe Lira to beat the Baltimore Orioles at Memorial Stadium. The final score was 4-2. In 7 innings, Lira surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 3. He allowed 2 runs. Elmer Dessens notched his 5th save in 7 chances.

Detroit needed the clutch hitting of Brent Mayne to notch the win. The catcher hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Tigers on top, 4-2. For the game, Mayne had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"I felt we were ready to go," said Detroit manager Julio Izquierdo. "Our pregame was pretty good."

Detroit has a 3-game win streak, while Baltimore has lost 3 in a row.
