Detroit earns 4-2 win
DETROIT (AP) -- Max Scherzer pitched seven solid innings and Danny Worth hit his first homer, helping the Detroit Tigers beat the Baltimore Orioles 4-2 on Wednesday night. The AL Central-leading Tigers swept the three-game series.
They've won five of six on a homestand that ends against the Minnesota Twins.
Scherzer (6-6) has won a career-high four straight. He gave up one run on six hits and two walks while striking out six. Robbie Weinhardt gave up a run in his major league debut and Phil Coke got the final three outs for his first save with the Tigers.
Baltimore is a season-worst 34 games under .500 after losing six of their last seven.
Brad Bergesen (3-6) hasn't won in almost two months. He gave up four runs and 11 hits in six innings.
