Pirates 10, Tigers 1
PITTSBURGH — Neil Walker homered and drove in a career-high five in the Pirates' third consecutive win (matching their longest win streak of the year). Walker's two-run double capped a six-run sixth, and he added a three-run homer in the ninth. Pittsburgh's Jeff Karstens retired the first 14 batters he faced in his best start of the season.
