Lowrie, who tied Jason Giambi's franchise record with his 47th double of the season earlier in the game, hit a drive to right for his 14th homer of the year and his third career grand slam. He finished with three hits, falling a triple shy of the cycle. Detroit's Alex Presley fell a triple shy of the cycle in his four-hit game.
James McCann led the Tigers with three RBIs, including a two-run triple. Nicholas Castellanos hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Lowrie provides double trouble: Before Lowrie's home-run heroics, the veteran helped build Oakland's 3-0 lead in the third inning with a line drive into left-center field off Tigers starter Chad Bell, scoring Dustin Garneau.
