DETROIT--Clete Thomas hit a grand slam in the bottom of the eighth inning, as the AL Central-leading Detroit Tigers got by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, 9-6, in the rubber match of a three-game set at Comerica Park.
Brandon Inge and Adam Everett each had a hit and two RBI for Detroit, which has won two straight after dropping the previous four contests. Rick Porcello went five innings but didn't factor in the decision. The young right-hander allowed four runs on five hits with three walks and two strikeouts. Joel Zumaya (2-0) picked up the win despite giving up a run and walking three batters in the eighth inning.
Juan Rivera had three hits, including a two-run homer, two doubles and three RBI, while Chone Figgins added a solo homer for the Angels.
Detroit begins an 11-game road trip at the Chicago White Sox on Monday.
