Woods was as happy about two pars

Mahan twice had to save par over the last five holes. He came up short on the 14th, but he had a couple of options. With the pin all the way to the back behind a ridge, he could run it up the slope to the hole, or even play long and have it roll back to the hole. He chose to lag it to the hole, hit it thin, and got away with the slight miss when it rolled back to 2 feet.

"I expected to hit it a little bit cleaner off the club face, but that how you shoot 65," he said. "Get good breaks like that." He was more pleased with the 17th, which he called the one loose swing of the day. Mahan missed the green to the right, but saved par. On the 18th, he ripped a tee shot and had sand wedge into the green to 12 feet for one last birdie.

Woods was as happy about two pars as he was with his 50-foot eagle putt on the 16th hole that put him under par for the first time all week.

The Tigers went ahead 3-2 in the third on RBI-doubles

After two scoreless innings with one hit for each team, both starters — Detroit rookie Casey Crosby and Rockies veteran Jeff Francis — struggled in the next inning, giving up five runs and seven hits combined.

Crosby gave up a single, RBI triple and RBI double to the first three Rockies he faced in the third then walked two straight to load the bases. Detroit's defense got Crosby out of the jam, getting two straight forceouts at home, including an inning-ending double play.

The Tigers went ahead 3-2 in the third on RBI-doubles by Austin Jackson and Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder's go-ahead single.

Crosby didn't let the home team and sold-out crowd enjoy the lead long.

Chris Nelson, whose RBI triple scored the game's first run, hit a two-run homer in the fourth that bounced on top of the wall in right to put Colorado ahead 4-3.
