DETROIT, May 20 (UPI) -- Alex Avila's two-run single in the seventh inning Sunday rallied the Detroit Tigers to a 4-3 interleague victory over Pittsburgh.
Trailing 2-1 entering the seventh, Prince Fielder led off with a double and came home with the tying run when Delmon Young sent a grounder up the middle for a hit, chasing Pittsburgh starter Kevin Correia (1-5).
One out later, reliever Tony Watson walked Jhonny Peralta and a passed ball by Pirates catcher Rod Barajas put two runners in scoring position, setting up Avila's go-ahead ground-ball single.
The rally made a winner of Max Scherzer (3-3), who fanned 15 batters over seven innings, surrendering a pair of runs on four hits.
Joaquin Benoit logged his first save despite allowing a run in the ninth for Detroit, which took the rubber match of a three-game weekend interleague series.
Correia ended up yielding three runs on four hits over six full frames.
Barajas homered and drove in two runs while Neil Walker also went deep in the Bucs' loss.
