St. Petersburg, Fla. Sept. 4: Fernando Rodney retired the final batter with the potential winning run on second Friday, allowing Detroit to escape with a 4-3 win over Tampa Bay.

The score was deadlocked at 1-1 going into the ninth, during which the teams combined to score five times.

Detroit won its fourth straight and increased its lead in the American League Central to six games over Minnesota.

The Tigers took the lead in the top of the ninth on an RBI single by Adam Everett. Curtis Granderson then drove in another run with a base hit and a sacrifice fly by Placido Polanco delivered what turned out to be the winning run.

Those three runs made a winner out of Detroit starter Justin Verlander (16-7), who gave up a run on four hits over eight innings.

Detroit, June 24: Adam Everett's infield single drove in the go-ahead run in the sixth Wednesday and Detroit survived a ninth-inning jam to down the Chicago Cubs 5-3.

Miguel Cabrera and Gerald Laird had solo homers for the Tigers, helping them to their sixth straight victory.

After Gerald Laird lined out to third base, Everett beat out his infield hit to drive in Thames with the go-ahead run. Curtis Granderson then worked a walk to force in another run.
