Knuckleballer Steven Wright, on the other hand, didn't look comfortable from the first inning, when he allowed Miguel Cabrera's opposite-field two-run homer. In his most disappointing start of the season, the righty allowed nine hits and eight runs over 4 2/3 innings.
Mike Pelfrey didn't fare much better for Detroit, giving up six hits and five runs over five innings. Neither starting pitcher factored in the decision.
