Detroit Tops St. Louis, 3-1
Takeshi Harada pitched well enough to win, but it was not to be. The St. Louis Cardinals, despite Harada's fine outing, dropped a 3-1 decision to the Detroit Tigers at Busch Stadium. Detroit reliever Kenneth Jones got the win, raising his record to 4-0. Takeshi Harada was tagged with the loss. Scott Duree was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 27 of 27 save opportunities.

Detroit used a well-timed hit by Chris Pope to capture the win. The right fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to put the Tigers ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"Watch and learn," said Pope. "This is what good pitching looks like."

Detroit is 4th in the American League Central Division with a record of 50-60.
