GAME LOG
DETROIT (AP) -- Juan Gonzalez hit a go-ahead two-run double in
the fifth inning and Brian Moehler pitched his 10th career complete
game as the Detroit Tigers beat the Baltimore Orioles 4-1 Tuesday
night.
Damion Easley homered for the Tigers, who won for the first time
in five games against the Orioles this season.
Moehler (8-7) won his second straight start after losing three
of his previous four decisions, and improved to 6-2 at Comerica
Park.
Moehler allowed one run, eight hits, struck out seven -- matching
a season-high -- and walked one in his second complete game of the
season.
Gonzalez was just 1-for-19 during the Tigers' homestand when he
hit a bases-loaded opposite-field double off Pat Rapp (6-9) to
drive in two runs and give Detroit a 2-1 lead.
Dean Palmer's sacrifice fly gave Detroit a 3-1 lead, and Easley
led off the seventh with his ninth home run.
Rapp, 2-7 in his last 13 appearances, allowed four runs -- three
earned -- and six hits in seven innings. He walked four and struck
out five.
Melvin Mora was 4-for-4 with a double for the Orioles, who are
2-3 on a 10-game road trip but have won six of their last 10.
Mora and Delino DeShields singled to set up Albert Belle's
run-scoring RBI groundout in the third to give the Orioles a 1-0
lead.
Game notes
Mora's four hits matched his career high reached June 25
against Pittsburgh when he was with the New York Mets. ... The
Tigers' fifth-inning rally was helped by a catcher's interference
call against Brook Fordyce. It was the second catcher's
interference call at Comerica Park in three days. Detroit's Brad
Ausmus was charged with it Sunday against Minnesota. ... Orioles 3B
Ryan Minor played for the first time since Aug. 1, three days after
he came off the disabled list from a strained left ribcage muscle.
... Rapp has just three wins in his last 19 appearances.
