DETROIT (AP) — Tommy Milone pitched five innings Tuesday night and walked away with a complete-game victory.Not bad at all.Milone settled down after a slow start and Brandon Moss hit a tiebreaking two-run homer off Justin Verlander, leading the Oakland Athletics to a 6-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers in a game cut short by rain.Seth Smith hit a leadoff homer in the sixth, and Oakland had the bases loaded with no one out when the tarp was pulled on the field due to the weather. It was called after an 80-minute delay.Milone (10-9) allowed three runs in the first, and then pitched four scoreless innings. The left-hander improved to 2-2 with a 4.97 ERA in his last six starts.“I’ve had some five-inning complete games in the minors, but I’ve never had one in the majors,” Milone said.
