Tigers 4-1 Winners Over St. Louis
Detroit starter Francisco Liriano put a stranglehold on the St. Louis offense. The left-hander had complete command of his sinker in leading the Tigers to a 4-1 win. Liriano, now 5-7, was the winner. In 6.2 innings, he gave up 8 hits, while striking out 3, walking 1, and allowing 1 run. Michael Kohn closed it out for his 7th save.

Edwin Encarnacion, the 16th overall pick in the 1999 draft, had a direct impact on the outcome. Encarnacion contributed a solo home run in the top of the fourth inning to put Detroit up, 2-0.

"At the end of the day, it's always about your starting pitcher," said Detroit skipper Bobby Balwin.

The second-place Tigers improved to 46-38.
