On a night the Pirates rolled out Ryan Vogelsong, A.J. Schugel and Cory Luebke, it was actually Arquimedes Caminero who gave up the big hit, and the offense fell flat for most of the night in a 7-3 loss to Detroit on Wednesday.
Things started off well enough for the Pirates. John Jaso and David Freese each singled, then Tigers starter Shane Greene walked Starling Marte to load the bases and Francisco Cervelli to plate Jaso. A fielder's choice scored another run, and the Pirates were up 2-0 after one inning.
Greene settled in after that, though, allowing just two baserunners (both Freese, actually) in his next five innings, finishing with seven strikeouts and three walks.
