The Tigers scored a run in each of the first three innings. Gordon Beckham led off the bottom of the first with a double and scored on Niko Goodrum's single up the middle.

An error aided Detroit in the second. John Hicks reached on an infield single. A throwing error by third baseman Anderson on JaCoby Jones' fielder's-choice grounder put runners in scoring position. Beckham's RBI grounder knocked in Hicks.
