Tigers 2, Pirates 0
PITTSBURGH — Rick Porcello pitched eight one-hit innings and the Tigers snapped a five-game skid. Porcello took a no-hitter into the sixth before giving up Ronny Cedeno's leadoff double. Jose Valverde worked out of a two-on, none-out jam in the ninth for the save. Porcello's previous start was wiped out by rain, but he hardly looked rusty, keeping the Pirates off balance and adding a single during a rare plate appearance.
