Zimmermann didn't receive help from his defense in the first inning, but recovered to throw eight innings with six strikeouts
Right-hander Jordan Zimmermann had his longest outing of the season.
But the Detroit Tigers lost for the sixth time in their past eight games.
Zimmermann allowed two runs on six hits over a season-high eight innings. He didn’t allow a walk and struck out five.
The Tigers had plenty of opportunities to give Zimmermann more run support, but they went on to lose, 2-1, on Wednesday night at Comerica Park.
