Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Justin Verlander went the distance for the fourth time this season as the Detroit Tigers topped the Pittsburgh Pirates, 3-2, in the finale of a three-game interleague set at PNC Park.

Verlander (8-4), who dazzled Pittsburgh hitters for six frames until he surrendered a two-homer in the seventh, allowed just five hits and struck out seven to get his third consecutive win.

Quintin Berry hit a two-run homer and scored the winning run on a Delmon Young single in the eighth, and Austin Jackson had a pair of hits and scored once for the Tigers, who avoided the three-game sweep.

Chris Resop (0-3) was pegged with the loss after giving up Young's RBI single. Kevin Correia started for Pittsburgh and gave up two runs on six hits and fanned four over six innings.

Garrett Jones hit a two run homer, and Pedro Alvarez had a hit and scored once for the Pirates, who had a three-game winning streak snapped.
