Jake Fox missed hitting for the cycle by a triple, belting a three-run homer -- his first in the Major Leagues -- but it wasn't enough as the Detroit Tigers completed an Interleague sweep on Thursday with a 6-5 victory over the Cubs.
Ramon Santiago and Magglio Ordonez each hit two-run homers for the Tigers, who won their seventh straight game. The Cubs lost their fourth in a row.
Ted Lilly (7-5) took the loss, giving up a season-high six runs on 10 hits over six innings. He's 0-1 with two no decisions in three starts against American League teams.
Alfonso Soriano doubled to lead off the game and Ryan Theriot walked to set up Fox's home run, a 411-foot shot that cleared the visitor's bullpen.
Ramon Santiago belted his fifth homer with two outs and one on in the Detroit third to make it 3-2. Kosuke Fukudome, who was 1-for-12 on the trip, gave the Cubs a little breathing room with an RBI triple with two outs in the Chicago fourth.
But the Tigers came roaring back. Marcus Thames and Ryan Raburn hit back-to-back doubles in the fourth to close to 4-3, and one out later, the recently shorn Magglio Ordonez smashed his third homer, a two-run shot, off an 0-2 pitch from Lilly. Raburn hit a two-out RBI single in the fifth to go ahead, 6-4.
Micah Hoffpauir belted a solo home run off Fernando Rodney in the ninth inning. |
