Tigers pounce on errors, edge Pirates in Game 1

The host Detroit Tigers took advantage of two Pittsburgh errors in the fifth inning to score all of their runs as they edged the Pirates 3-2 in the first game of a doubleheader on Wednesday.

The scheduled opener of the series Tuesday was postponed due to inclement weather and rescheduled as the second game of the doubleheader.

Detroit, which had just three hits, won for just the second time in the last nine games.
