Ed Correa took the loss. Today's win puts Detroit at 28-54, while Montreal falls to 50-32.

Barry had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the ninth. On a 2-1 fastball from Ed Correa, he banged a 2-run home run to center, giving the Tigers a 7-5 lead. It was the 2nd home run of the year for Barry.

"Put a star next to this win," Barry said.
