					| Detroit right-hander Eric Putnam helped his team edge Texas by the score of 2-1. Putnam kept the opposing lineup in check. The winning pitcher was Putnam, now 5-6. He tossed 7 innings of 3-hit ball, while walking 3 and fanning 8. Melvin Medellin nailed down his 3rd save. 
 Rich Stinson hit a run-scoring  triple off Pimbly Nimblebottom in the bottom of the seventh, which put the Tigers in front, 2-1. Stinson had 1 walk, in addition to the triple. For the game, he went 1 for 3.
 
 "I know we have our doubters," said Texas manager Juan Smith III. "But I still have high hopes for this team."
 
 At 30-42, the Tigers claim 4th place in the American League Central Division.
