DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Tigers survived the loss of pitcher Mike Fiers to an early injury and beat the Reds 7-4 for a two-game sweep.
Fiers left after the second with a bruised left shin, sustained on a comebacker off the bat of Mason Williams. X-rays on Fiers’ shin were negative, and it was unclear whether he will make his next scheduled start.
Winner Drew VerHagen pitched three scoreless innings.
Jose Iglesias drove in three runs and Jim Adduci homered for Detroit.
