Tigers Roll to 9-3 Win Over Cardinals
The Detroit Tigers beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 9-3, at Comerica Park. The Tigers got a fine performance from center fielder Christian Pons, who went 2 for 3 with a home run. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Tony Cervantes, who is tied for 9th in the AL in quality starts with 6, was the winning pitcher. Over 6 innings, he allowed 2 runs on 3 hits, with 1 walk and 8 strikeouts. The winning streak has now reached 4 games for the Tigers.

The game turned with two out in the bottom of the fourth. That's when Pons hit a 3-run home run off Jered Weaver. It propelled the Tigers into the lead, 3-0.

"The boys came out and just played their butts off," said Detroit manager Bobby Balwin.
