LHP Alberto Baldonado worked his way out of a jam, with runners on first and second with one out in the 8th Ehire Adrianaza and Luis Garcia forced their second double play of the day.
In the 9th inning with runners on second and third Red Wings reliever Matt Cronin forced a fly out to RF Donovan Casey to end the inning.
