Tigers Win at Pittsburgh, 7-4
The Detroit Tigers topped the Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-4, at PNC Park. Detroit center fielder George Springer earned player of the game honors. He banged out 2 singles and 1 double, while driving in 2 runs. The winner was Joe Ross, who threw 85 pitches over 5 innings. The right-hander was charged with 3 runs on 5 hits. The save went to Zach Britton, his 9th this season.

A crucial at-bat came with runners on 1st and 2nd and no one out in the top of the fifth inning. That's when left fielder Khris Davis, who is tied for 7th in the AL in total bases with 56, drew a walk. The Tigers went on to win.

"It was a solid team effort and we'll try to keep this momentum going," Springer told reporters after the game.

Pittsburgh, at 6-19, is off to a poor start in 2018.
