CINCINNATI, June 9 (UPI) -- Prince Fielder singled home Brennan Boesch for the go-ahead run in the eighth inning Saturday, lifting Detroit to a 3-2 interleague win over Cincinnati.
With the score tied 2-2 in the eighth, Boesch led off against Sean Marshall (1-3) with a double. Miguel Cabrera was intentionally walked and Fielder followed by lining a pitch to center field.
Chris Heisey's throw home was late and Boesch slid in with the decisive run.
The score made a winner of Brayan Villarreal (2-1), who worked around a pair of walks in the seventh inning to record a scoreless frame in relief of starter Justin Verlander.
Joaquin Benoit threw a 1-2-3 eighth and Jose Valverde nailed down his 11th save for the Tigers, who evened their three-game set at Great American Park.
Fielder also socked a solo homer and Ramon Santiago went 2-for-4 with a bases-empty shot.
Reds starter Bronson Arroyo yielded two runs on five hits in a seven-inning effort, allowing no walks while fanning four.
Todd Frazier drove in both runs for National League Central-leading Cincinnati.
