Polanco, Ordonez each drive in 2 to lead Tigers to 6-4 victory over Angels

Tigers rookie Armando Galarraga didn't get a decision after pitching 5 2-3 hitless innings to start the game. He wound up allowing three runs _ one earned _ on three hits and two walks in six-plus innings.

Todd Jones, the fourth Detroit pitcher, got his fourth save with a scoreless ninth.

Because of injuries, the Tigers still haven't gotten their best lineup on the field _ Carlos Guillen missed this one with a bruised knee _ but they still managed to snap the Angels' three-game winning streak.

Detroit went ahead in the first on Ordonez's RBI double, then increased the lead to 3-0 on Polanco's two-run single in the fifth.

The Angels had loaded the bases in the first on two walks and an error, but didn't get a hit until Vladimir Guerrero's triple with two out in the sixth.

Torii Hunter bunted to start the seventh, and Galarraga fielded the hit but threw the ball into the stands for a two-base error. Garret Anderson followed with a single, bringing Jim Leyland out of the Tigers dugout.

Leyland left the rookie in, but Maicer Izturis chased him with a two-run double to left-center. Aquilino Lopez (2-0) then retired the next two hitters before Chone Figgins tied the game with a single to left.

The Tigers, though, took back the lead in the bottom of the inning off Los Angeles reliever Darren O'Day (0-1). Curtis Granderson tripled with one out, and the Angels intentionally walked Polanco. Gary Sheffield followed with a chopper over the mound, but Izturis's flip to second went into center field for an error that allowed Granderson scored.

Ordonez followed with an RBI double to make it 5-3, and Jacque Jones brought home another run with a sacrifice fly.

Guerrero led off the eighth with a double _ his 2,000th career hit _ and scored when Hunter hit into a double play.
