Baltimore, MD- Norm Cash's solo home run turned out to be the only run the Tigers needed as Tom Timmermann pitched a four-hit shutout in a 2-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles at Memorial Stadium.
Cash (9) connected off Orioles starter Jim Palmer in the second inning---a drive over the left field wall.
The Tigers (35-24) added another run in the third, unearned.
Meanwhile, Timmermann (7-6) cruised, walking one and striking out six, lowering his ERA to 1.78.
The first-place Tigers took two of three from the Orioles and return home to host the New York Yankees on Monday and Tuesday.
Timmermann allowed only three Orioles runners to reach second base.
