Tigers Double Up Arizona, 4-2
Detroit starter Felipe Lira pitched effectively against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Tiger Stadium. The right-hander led his team to a 4-2 win. With the loss, Arizona is 4-5.

Had Ben Grieve not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Grieve hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Tigers.

"Everything felt in sync," said Lira.
