Matthew Boyd threw a scoreless first inning for the Tigers.
On the second pitch of the game, Tyler Saladino doubled to the right-center field gap, putting a runner in scoring position early. But the Tigers escaped trouble after Boyd struck out Tim Anderson swinging at a ball in the dirt. Alex Avila then threw Saladino out trying to steal third base, before Melky Cabrera grounded out to second base to end the half inning.
