Detroit scored 3 in the 6th to reach 8, and Nick Yorke's three-run double at 111.0 mph in the same frame was the closest Pittsburgh came. Kevin McGonigle's 2-run homer in the 2nd, his 13th, set the lead, and Framber Valdez — despite 4 walks and 5 runs in 5.2 innings — got the win behind it. The Tigers left 13 on base and scored 8 anyway. Kenley Jansen threw 8 pitches, 7 for strikes, and the Pirates went down in order.
