Ordonez, Guillen power Tigers to win over Twins

Baseball Betting Lines

07/09/2010 - Detroit, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Magglio Ordonez had three hits and drove in three runs in Detroit's 7-3 victory in the opener of a crucial three-game intradivision set.

Carlos Guillen had two hits and drove in two runs, and Miguel Cabrera singled to extend his hitting streak to a career-best 17 games for Detroit, which maintained its' hold on the top spot in the AL Central.

Justin Verlander (11-5) made it through 5 1/3 innings to grab the win after being charged with a pair of runs on eight hits, while walking two and striking out seven for the Tigers, who have won four straight and six out seven.

Francisco Liriano (6-7) was banged up to the tune of seven runs on six hits, two walks and two hit batters over just 1 2/3 innings, while recording only one strikeout in his shortest outing of the year as the Twins fell for a third consecutive game and for a fifth time in six tries.

Ordonez and Brennan Boesch singled home runs in the first inning to give the Tigers the early 2-0 lead.

The Tigers loaded the bases with one out in the second with a walk, bunt base hit and hit batter. Ordonez then lined a single into centerfield to deliver two runs and make it a 4-0 game. Cabrera fouled out to right field on a running catch by Jason Kubel in front of the stands that allowed Ryan Raburn to score and extend the lead to five. Guillen followed with a triple to left- center field to chase home two more runs and knock Liriano out of the game.

Alex Burnett came on to retire Brandon Inge for the final out of the frame and wound up tossing 3 1/3 scoreless innings.

Minnesota reached Verlander for a run in the fourth when Orlando Hudson led off with a single, moved up on a walk to Joe Mauer and scored on a one-out base hit by Kubel. Mauer advanced to third on an error by Austin Jackson in center but was stranded when Michael Cuddyer struck out and Delmon Young flied out.

Mauer singled with one out in the sixth, moved to second base on a Jim Thome base hit and scored when Kubel lined a single to left. Cuddyer then singled to load the bases and chase Verlander from the hill.

Robbie Weinhardt came on to squash the rally by getting Young to ground into an inning-ending double play. The young right-hander worked a scoreless seventh and was followed by Phil Coke, who tossed a spotless eighth inning.

Ryan Perry took over in the ninth and allowed a leadoff double to Cuddyer and a base hit to Young and was quickly replaced by Jose Valverde.

Young stole second base before J.J. Hardy singled to left to trim the lead to 7-3 and put runners at the corners. Hardy moved to second on a passed ball but the All-Star right-hander squelched any further thought of a comeback by setting down the next three hitters to end the game.
