Detroit takes series from Cardinals with 4-1 win

Kenta Maeda got his first win for Detroit, allowing four hits over six innings in a 4-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday as the Tigers took two of three games in the series.

Maeda (1-1) allowed a fourth-inning home run to Willson Contreras that landed in shrubbery above the center-field fence. He struck out five and walked none.

Miles Mikolas (2-4), facing Detroit for the first time, gave up three runs and six hits in six innings.

The Tigers are 31-16 against St. Louis in interleague play.
