Rookie Troy Melton pitched seven scoreless innings in his second career start, and the Detroit Tigers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-1.

The Tigers might be coming off a sizeable 10-4 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday afternoon, but it has not fully erased what has been an abysmal spell for the team for the past couple of weeks. The team lost the first three games to the Blue Jays, now the best team in baseball, getting outscored 23-7 in the process.
