Justin Upton put a sweet stroke on a ball running in on his hands and drilled it to left field, keeping it just inside the foul pole in left field for his 200th career home run to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead.
Victor Martinez flew out to left field and Nick Castellanos flew out to center field after a 12-pitch battle with Rick Nolasco. Mike Aviles lined out to first base to end the inning.

Robbie Grossman was able to draw a two-out walk from Matt Boyd to give Minnesota its first baserunner of the night. Boyd bounced back to strikeout Eddie Rosario to get out of the inning.
