DETROIT -- On a chilly afternoon, Pirates right-hander Trevor Williams put the Detroit bats in a deep freeze.
Williams was pulled with a no-hitter in progress after six innings, and Pittsburgh hung on to beat the Tigers 1-0 Sunday in the opener of a day-night doubleheader.
Williams (1-0) threw 84 pitches, his count boosted by five walks, and was replaced by Michael Feliz to start the seventh.
"I was playing Russian roulette all day with the walks, so I totally understood the move," Williams said. "It was 1-0 when I came out and it ended up 1-0, so it worked perfectly.
