The winner was Jamie White in relief. His record improves to 6-8. Zach Stout took the loss. Detroit has run its win streak to 4 straight.

Jeff Hennessey, who finished 4th in the AL in triples with 10 last year, aided the Detroit cause with a run-scoring walk in the bottom of the fifth. For the game, the shortstop was 2-3 with a double and a walk.

"We're feeling good in this clubhouse right now after that one," Hennessey told the Detroit Gazette.
