Tigers pull even

Detroit shuts down St. Louis, 3-1, in Game 2

The Detroit Tigers jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first inning, with a home run from Craig Monroe and an RBI single from Carlos Guillen.

It was just enough as the Tigers tacked on one more run to defeat the St. Louis Cardinals, 3-1, Sunday night at Comerica Park. The Tigers' win evens the best-of-seven series, 1-1, after losing Game 1, 7-2.

Kenny Rogers kept the Cardinals scoreless through more than seven innings as his counterpart, former Tiger Jeff Weaver, struggled in the 40-degree weather.

Games 3 through 5 move to St. Louis, starting Tuesday night.
