Fulmer (8-2), the Tigers' promising young starter, dueled Drew Smyly, Detroit's former promising young starter, for the second time this year. They combined for 10 strikeouts in 20 batters over their first three innings Friday before the Tigers began putting up runs the second time through the order. Nick Castellanos doubled home Cameron Maybin in the fourth inning before Maybin singled home two runs in the fifth, taking advantage of a Brad Miller error. Martinez's three-run homer in the seventh put the game out of reach before he hit another three-run homer in the ninth.
