Brad Penny allowed 3 runs on 5 hits in 6 innings pitched. But Jim Thome bit Detroit again with his 3rd homer of the series and number 601 of his career. Jose Valverde came in in the top of the 9th in a tie game in an effort to give Detroit a chance to win it in the bottom half. Instead Valverde gave up 2 unearned runs, fueled by his own error on a bunt. Detroit scored 1 in the bottom of the 9th but neither Ryan Raburn nor Alex Avila could drive in the tying run. Valverde has been shaky in non-save situations and fell to 2-4 on the season.
For Detroit Jhonny Peralta was 2-3 with his 17th home run of the season. Miguel Cabrera was 2-5 with 2 RBIs. Wilson Betemit and Delmon Young also drove in runs.
