Pat Dean and Anibal Sanchez, both thrust into spot starts when storms washed out Wednesday's game and its scheduled starters in the third inning, put on an unlikely pitching duel with five innings of one-run ball apiece, trading zeros after both teams scored first-inning runs. Detroit rallied off Alex Wimmers (1-3) for the second time in 10 days. This time, it came off one swing from Upton, who connected on his 26th home run of the season and his 13th since Aug. 21. Martinez, making his first appearance since suffering a bruised right knee on a hit by pitch Sunday in Cleveland, delivered his third pinch-hit home run of the season, punctuating a six-run ninth that blew the game open.
