Tigers Subdue Baltimore, 3-2
In a low-scoring tilt between the Detroit Tigers and the Baltimore Orioles, Tim Belcher was the difference-maker. The Detroit right-hander earned player of the game honors in the 3-2 win. Today's win puts Detroit at 18-37, while Baltimore falls to 25-30.

The Tigers used some clutch hitting to beat the Orioles, a good example being the at-bat of Shane Halter in the bottom of the fourth. With two down, Halter gave his team the lead, 3-2, when he hit a 3-run home run.

"Nice to see our side come away with the win," Belcher said after the game.
