Jose Valverde winds up for a pitch. Valverde earned his 6th save of the season

Gerald Laird's sac fly in the bottom of the 8th broke a 2-2 tie and propelled the Tigers to a 3-2 win over the Angels in front of their home crowd. The Tigers entered the 8th inning down 2-1, when Miguel Cabrera's rbi single tied the game. Jose Valverde pitched a perfect 9th to earn his 6th save of the season. Zach Miner earned the win in relief upping his record to 3-2.

Hidecki Matsui hit his 7th home run of the season in a losing cause. Jered Weaver came away with the no decision, but he pitched well. Weaver struck out 8 and gave up 2 runs in 7 innings of work.

The Angels next travel to Boston to take on their playoff rivals the Red Sox for a 4 game set. Scott Kazmir (2-0, 3.47) takes on Josh Beckett (2-1, 3.19) in the series opener.
