Magglio Ordonez had two hits and two RBI.
Curtis Granderson hit a fifth inning solo homer and scored twice.
Two others had one RBI and one run scored on Bobby Crosby's eighth inning throwing error for the Tigers, who have won three of four following a six-game losing streak.
Oakland's run scored on Mark Ellis' eighth inning single.
Emil Brown had two of the six hits in the Athletics' 11th loss in their last 12 games.
Losing pitcher Greg Smith (5-11) yielded an earned run and three hits in 4 2/3 innings, but hurt himself by walking seven batters.
