STREAKS AND STATS:
James McCann's double in the third inning stretched his hitting streak to five games. He was batting .400/.429/.575 in 42 July plate appearances coming into tonight's game.
Jose Iglesias committed his 10th error of the season in the bottom of the second inning. That is tied for the fifth-highest total in the American League among 13 qualified shortstops.
Nick Castellanos' home run in the fifth inning was his second of the series. He now has six home runs and 21 RBI in his last 28 games.
Shane Greene has allowed four earned runs in each of his past seven starts, dating back to May 25. This is tied for the seventh-longest streak in Tigers history. The last Tigers pitcher to have seven consecutive starts with four earned runs allowed was Nate Robertson in 2008.
Greene has failed to record 15 outs (read: five innings) in each of his past six starts, which is tied for the 10th-worst stretch in Tigers history. If he has one more bad start, he will move up to a tie for third. Righthander Kevin Ritz holds the club record with 12 starts of five innings or less from 1989 to 1992.
