Zimmermann (4-0) stretched his scoreless streak to 24 1/3 innings, the longest ever by a Tiger to start the season and the longest by a pitcher to start his Tigers tenure, before Tyler Collins lost a fly ball in the lights in the sixth inning for a leadoff double, with Marcus Semien advancing to third on an error, that set up a Billy Burns RBI single. Yonder Alonso added an RBI double in the seventh, followed by a Mark Canha pinch-hit RBI single.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Cabrera's April doldrums end: Cabrera entered the day with a .206 average and one home run on the season, and was coming off a rare day out of the starting lineup to clear his head. He raised his average by 48 points by the end of the evening, hitting a pair of familiar opposite-field lofts to nearly the same spot in the right-field corner.
Graveman buried in the fifth: Graveman opened the fifth inning with a strikeout, but back-to-back singles were followed by back-to-back home runs by Cabrera and Martinez to push the Tigers lead to 6-0. After a groundout, single and a walk, Graveman was pulled.
