Detroit: Nick Ahmed hit a two-run homer in the second inning, Lourdes Gurriel followed with a three-run blast in the fifth and the Arizona Diamondbacks sent the Detroit Tigers to their eighth straight loss, 5-0 on Saturday.
NL West-leading Arizona, which has won four straight games, is 14 games over .500 for the first time in nearly five years.
Detroit was shut out for the third time this month and eighth time this season.
Ryne Nelson (3-3) threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings and gave up just four hits. After walking two straight to load the bases, Nelson was replaced by right-hander
Austin Adams, who ended the sixth by getting Zack Short out on a fly to center.
Detroit's Matthew Boyd (3-5) allowed five earned runs for the second time in three starts and third time in six outings.
Tigers fans didn't have much to cheer about, but they did get a chance in the second and ninth when fading star Miguel Cabrera hit a double in each inning.
The 40-year-old Cabrera, who is retiring after this season, matched Ty Cobb's total of extra-base hits (1,136) for 15th on the all-time list and tied Dave Winfield for 22nd all time with 3,110 career hits.
