González Pops Two Homers in 10-4 Win for Detroit
The Detroit Tigers defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates by the score of 10-4. Raúl González starred for Detroit, going 3-for-4 with 2 home runs. Luis Muñóz picked up the win with 5 innings of work. He allowed 2 runs on 4 hits, while walking 3 and striking out 5. On the season, he is now 12-5. With the win, Detroit upped its record to 82-45.

Detroit shortstop José Navarro contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the fifth. With two down, he hit a fastball to left field for a run-scoring single. It was his 112nd hit of the season and put the Tigers ahead, 5-2.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Navarro. "And not try to do too much."
