DETROIT (AP) -- Edwin Jackson took a shutout into the ninth inning, Magglio Ordonez homered and the Detroit Tigers beat the Baltimore Orioles 4-2 Tuesday night.
Jackson (8-5) allowed two runs on three hits, walking two and striking out eight. He has allowed two runs in 16 innings over two starts against Baltimore this season.
Jackson hit Nolan Reimold with a pitch to start the ninth, and Adam Jones followed with a homer to left. Fernando Rodney entered and got three outs for his 22nd save in 23 tries.
Jeremy Guthrie (7-11) gave up three runs on six hits in 7 1-3 innings.
Baltimore's only hit in the first six innings came as a result of a Detroit defensive blunder. With two outs in the first, Jones hit a blooper toward second. First baseman Miguel Cabrera tried to make the play, but pulled off at the last second as the ball dropped for an infield single.
Ordonez broke the scoreless tie with his sixth homer in the fifth, but hit into an inning-ending double play with two runners on in the seventh.
Placido Polanco gave the Tigers a 3-0 lead with a two-run single off Cla Meredith in the eighth, and Cabrera provided the final run with an RBI single later in the inning.
