Jhonny Peralta and Ryan Raburn hit back-to-back home runs with 2 outs in the 4th inning to break a 2-2 tie. For Peralta it was his 10th, to join Miguel Cabrera in double figures. For Raburn it was his 6th as he tries to duplicate his frequent summertime offensive surge.
Max Scherzer allowed 2 runs on 4 hits in 5.2 innings pitched. He gave up back to back triples in the top of the first to fall behind 2-0 but settled down. He got into a bit of a jam in the 6th but Al Alburquerque got the final out with the bases loaded to put out the fire and keep Detroit up 6-2. He went 1.1 innings overall, then gave way to Joaquin Benoit and Jose Valverde. Power arms. And they slammed the door, allowing only 1 hit while striking out 4 in their combined 3.1 innings of work.
Scherzer improved his record to 9-2 on the season.
Jhonny Peralta was 2-4 with his homer. Victor Martinez delivered an RBI single and a sac fly to drive in 2. Miguel Cabrera was 2-3 with an RBI. Don Kelly was 2-4 with an RBI and scored twice. Brennan Boesch was also 3-4. Detroit had 13 hits and would have scored more but they hit into 3 double plays to snuff out rallies.
