The Detroit Tigers grabbed a win, 6-5, over the Cincinnati Reds at Cinergy Field. Detroit first baseman Scott Hairston was 2 for 5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs. Detroit reliever Ryan Hannaman picked up the win, upping his record to 3-1. Dustin Moseley absorbed the loss. The winning streak has now reached 5 games for Detroit.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Bobby Higginson? The 35-year old right fielder Higginson stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put Detroit up, 6-5. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single.

"It was terrific getting this win," Hairston said. "We put in a lot of work to do it."
