By DAVID GINSBURG/AP Sports Writer
BALTIMORE (AP) - Chris Tillman pitched seven innings of five-hit ball, Adam Jones broke up a scoreless duel with a sixth-inning homer off Justin Verlander and the Baltimore Orioles beat the skidding Detroit Tigers 1-0 Friday night.
Tillman (5-1) struck out seven and walked two to win his fourth straight start and provide Baltimore with its second six-game winning streak of the season. Tillman has a 1.33 ERA with 32 strikeouts in his last four outings.
Darren O'Day worked the eighth and Zach Britton got three straight outs for his 10th save.
Verlander (2-4) went the distance, allowing four hits, striking out eight and walking two in eight innings. He came in 7-0 in eight career starts at Camden Yards.
