Teams combined for 31 hits
DETROIT (AP) -- Brandon Inge drove in four runs, Carlos Guillen knocked in three and the Detroit Tigers outscored the Baltimore Orioles 12-9 Monday.
Starters Kevin Millwood of Baltimore and rookie Andy Oliver both were gone by the end of the second inning. The Tigers led 8-7 after the third and managed to keep the lead the rest of the way.
Inge, Guillen and Johnny Damon each had three of Detroit's 17 hits. Brennan Boesch was the only starter without one, but became the first Tigers rookie to walk four times in a game since Steve Boros in 1961.
Baltimore's Jake Fox hit the game's lone home run. Matt Wieters had a two-run double off Jose Valverde in the ninth, but the
Detroit closer escaped a two-on, one-out jam to end it.
