Guillen, Joyce lead Tigers past Diamondbacks

One night after they blew a late lead, the Detroit Tigers held on for a 3-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday.

That meant the Tigers could crank up the music in the visiting clubhouse to mark the end of a five-game losing streak.

??It??s a 180-degree turnaround, man,? said Matt Joyce, whose seventh-inning solo homer provided the winning margin. ??You go from the lowest low point to one of the highest highs.?

Carlos Guillen hit a two-run single and Armando Galarraga (3-1) kept the Diamondbacks at bay, allowing two runs and one hit in six-plus innings.

The Tigers, last in the AL Central, hope they can build on the victory.

??I want us where we expect to win, not like it??s an exception,? manager Jim Leyland said. ??It??s supposed to be the rule here, not the exception.?

Todd Jones pitched the ninth for his sixth save in six chances. He hit leadoff man Justin Upton before retiring Mark Reynolds, Eric Byrnes and Chris Snyder on fly balls.
