CINCINNATI - Wilson Valdez's squeeze bunt with one out in the 10th inning scored Miguel Cairo for a 6-5 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Friday night.
Cairo started the rally against left-hander Phil Coke (1-2) with his first triple of the season, the ball skittering out of the right-field corner and eluding Matt Young.
One out later, Valdez pinch hit and bunted toward first baseman Prince Fielder, who threw home barehanded. Cairo slid his left hand over the plate before the tag.
Sam LeCure (2-1) pitched two innings, striking out three of the six batters he faced.
Joey Votto had three hits for Cincinnati, including a three-run homer off Rick Porcello. Votto extended his hitting streak to 14 games, matching the longest of his career.
