Cubs Handed 4-3 Loss by Detroit
The Detroit Tigers did just enough to sneak past the Chicago (N) Cubs, 4-3, at Tiger Stadium. Detroit pitcher Hiroki Kuroda, in particular, had a standout performance. Kuroda, now 2-1, was the winner. In 6 innings, he gave up 7 hits, while striking out 6, walking 0, and allowing 3 runs. Earning his 9th save for Detroit was Bob Kelly.

The Tigers got a big at-bat from third baseman Miguel Sanó. For the game, Sanó was 1-3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the third, with runners on 1st and 3rd, he stroked a 3-run home run. His 3rd home run of the season gave Detroit a 4-2 lead.

"I still think this team has room for improvement," Kuroda told the Detroit Chronicle.

The win puts Detroit at 17-11.
