ARLINGTON, Texas - Brad Wilkerson ended a stretch of six strikeouts in seven at-bats with a tiebreaking, two-run double off the wall in right-center field, and Texas handed Detroit its first loss of the season.
Wilkerson struck out in his first three at-bats against Detroit starter Kenny Rogers (1-1), and then again in the eighth, making him 14-for-32 - for Ks - on the season. With two on and one out in the sixth, Wilkerson hit an 0-2 pitch for just his sixth hit, easily scoring both runners and knocking out Rogers.
NOTABLE: The Tigers haven't made an error, their longest season-opening streak since 1994.
