Tigers Bang Out 6-5 Win Versus Baltimore
The Detroit Tigers beat the Baltimore Orioles, 6-5, at Tiger Stadium. Detroit catcher Merritt Ranew had an outstanding performance. He went 2-3 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 runs. The win for the Tigers raised their record to 48-42.

Bobby Higginson had a big 2-run double for the Tigers in the bottom of the seventh inning. With Detroit leading 4-1 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he got a slider from 29-year old right-handed pitcher Matt Lindstrom and swatted a double to right. It was his 6th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Tigers ahead, 6-1.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Higginson, "one at-bat at a time."
