The 38-year-old right-hander picked up his second save of the season.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Detroit&#8217;s Keider Montero (1-1) struck out seven and allowed two hits and a walk over six innings. <\/p>\n<p>The Tigers entered having lost nine of their last 11 games since opening the season with a pair of wins in San Diego.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Miami starter Chris Paddack (0-2) allowed seven hits and two earned runs in six innings.<\/p>\n<p>Riley Greene, who went 1 for 4, has reached base safely in all 14 games this season. He&#8217;s the first Tiger to reach safely in 14 games to start a season since Austin Jackson in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>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). <\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP MLB: https:\/\/apnews.com\/MLB<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Detroit&#8217;s Kenley Jansen put Miami down in order in the ninth inning and moved into a tie for&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":227135,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[67051,9004,123,125,3822,124,110],"class_list":{"0":"post-227134","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-miami","8":"tag-detroit-tigers","9":"tag-major-league-baseball","10":"tag-miami","11":"tag-miami-headlines","12":"tag-miami-marlins","13":"tag-miami-news","14":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227134","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=227134"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227134\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/227135"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=227134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=227134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
