Detroit Tigers right-hander Alex Faedo completed five innings Thursday.
The 26-year-old became the first MLB pitcher since 2013 to start his big-league career by posting at least five innings and allowing no more than two runs in each of his first six games.
Two runs appeared to be too many, though, until Daz Cameron saved the Tigers' offense with a go-ahead two-run home run in the bottom of the eighth inning. Behind Cameron's swing, the Tigers beat the Minnesota Twins, 3-2, at Comerica Park in the five-game series finale.
The Tigers (21-30) won four games in the lengthy series for their second straight series win against an American League Central rival.
