Jansen struck out one and moved into a tie with Hall of Famer Lee Smith (1980--97) on the saves list. The 38-year-old right-hander picked up his second save of the season. Baez sent a line drive to left field that hit the top of the wall and went out to make it 2-0 in the fifth for his second homer of the season. Detroit's Keider Montero (1-1) struck out seven and allowed two hits and a walk over six innings. The Tigers entered having lost nine of their last 11 games since opening the season with a pair of wins in San Diego. Detroit had three hits in a row to start the bottom of the second, and Spencer Torkelson put the Tigers on the board with a single to left field. Then, the Tigers loaded the bases with two outs before Owen Caissie made a sliding catch in right field to end the inning. Miami, which entered with 12 hits in back-to-back games, took until the eighth inning before getting the leadoff man on base. But, then Graham Pauley lined into a double play. Miami starter Chris Paddack (0-2) allowed seven hits and two earned runs in six innings. Riley Greene, who went 1 for 4, has reached base safely in all 14 games this season. He's the first Tiger to reach safely in 14 games to start a season since Austin Jackson in 2013.

Up next Miami RHP Janson Junk (0-1, 3:09 ERA) will make his third start of the season, and first on the road, on Saturday against Detroit RHP Casey Mize (0-1, 5.23). ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB
