Hill pitches 7 outstanding innings, A's beat Tigers 5-1 (Yahoo Sports)

Bob Melvin had no major concerns about sending left-hander Rich Hill to the mound against Detroit's lineup of righty sluggers. ''He's really unpredictable in what he's throwing,'' the Oakland manager said after Hill shut down the Tigers. Hill allowed four hits in seven scoreless innings, and the Athletics beat the Tigers 5-1 on Tuesday night.
