The Detroit Tigers and Tampa Bay Rays played an exciting game.

The Detroit Tigers got a strong performance from pitcher Héctor Méndez, who stymied the Tampa Bay offense en route to a win, 4-2, at Tropicana Field. Méndez yielded 2 runs over 6 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 2, and struck out 8. His record improves to 13-8. Ron Blake converted his 15th save in 23 tries.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for John Roberts? The Detroit center fielder had a run-scoring double in the top of the third inning to put the Tigers on top, 1-0. For the game, Roberts had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

Said losing manager Eddie Komrska: "Give the Tigers credit. They played a better game than we did."

At 81-68, the Tigers find themselves in first place in the American League Central Division.
