Second baseman Mike Aviles delivered a two-out RBI single to extend the Tigers lead to 2-0.
Aviles started tonight for Ian Kinsler, who is out with flu-like symptoms.
The inning started when third baseman Nick Castellanos singled to deep second base (Jed Lowrie’s throw one-hopped to the bag).
Castellanos stole second base with one out, then moved to third on a groundout by center fielder Tyler Collins.
Castellanos has hit safely in 10 of his past 11 games.
