At Comerica Tigers Park, the Texas Rangers and Detroit Tigers were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.

The Detroit Tigers polished off the Texas Rangers by the score of 6-2. The largest share of the credit belonged to designated hitter Tad Johnson.

He held the Rangers to 1 run on 6 hits over 5.1 innings, while striking out 6 and walking 2.

The game turned with one out in the bottom of the fourth. That's when Johnson hit a 2-run home run off Iván Galló. It propelled the Tigers into the lead, 2-0.

Detroit manager Robert Carson praised his team's "businesslike approach."

By defeating Texas, the second-place Tigers improved to 18-15.
