Tigers Drop Pirates, 4-3
The Detroit Tigers picked up a win at PNC Park, topping the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-3. On the mound for Detroit was right-hander Denny McLain. He played a principal role in the triumph. McLain yielded 3 runs over 8 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 3, and struck out 3. His record improves to 4-15. John Hiller recorded the save, his 6th.

Detroit used a timely hit from Ty Cobb to get the win. The center fielder stroked a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Tigers ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"I always go out there hoping to contribute," said Cobb.

Detroit is third in the American League Central Division with a record of 58-60.
