Live blog: Alex Wilson in as Braves hang onto 2-1 lead

The Tigers got four innings from starter Jordan Zimmermann. But that's all they got after Zimmermann was pulled for a pinch-hitter in the fifth.

The Braves maintained a 2-1 lead through five after Alex Wilson came on to pitch for Detroit and got the Braves in order.

Zimmermann was lifted with two gone in the fifth after Jose Iglesias put down a two-out bunt single ahead of Zimmerann's scheduled at-bat.

Tigers manager Brad Ausmus opted for a pinch-hitter, Steven Moya, who struck out on a 3-2 pitch.
