Anderson was the only batter Seay faced after replacing Freddy Dolsi (0-1).
Detroit and its high-priced lineup was shut out for a major league-high eighth time this season. The inconsistent Tigers had scored a total of 54 runs over a five-game stretch before they lost 1-0 to Minnesota on Sunday.
Macier Izturis led off the 12th with a single, and, after Gary Matthews Jr flied out, Vladimir Guerrero singled to center to advance Izturis to third. Dolsi (0-1) intentionally walked Torii Hunter before Seay came on.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
AP, ATLANTA, GEORGIA
Mark Teixeira drove in four runs against Brandon Webb as the Atlanta Braves beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-3 and sent Webb to his second straight defeat in the National League on Monday.
Webb (9-2) allowed seven runs — four earned — and a season-high 10 hits in four and a third innings, his shortest start since Oct. 1, 2006. He won his first nine decisions before losing 3-1 at Florida last Wednesday.
Manny Acosta (3-1) pitched two hitless innings to win in relief of Jair Jurrjens, who gave up three runs and eight hits in four and two thirds innings.
Atlanta split the four-game series to complete an 8-3 homestand, the Braves’ longest this season. Arizona finished a 2-5 trip.
Cubs 3, Dodgers 1
At Chicago, Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez homered to back Ryan Dempster, and Chicago beat Los Angeles.
Lee hit a two-run drive in the first inning off Chad Billingsley (4-6) for his 250th home run, and Ramirez added a solo homer against Scott Proctor in the eighth.
Dempster (6-2) gave the bullpen some rest after the Cubs combined to use 11 relievers in consecutive extra-inning losses at Pittsburgh. He allowed one run and seven hits in seven innings before Bob Howry and Kerry Wood finished.
Billingsley allowed two runs and four hits in six innings, struck out seven and walked two.
Brewers 4, Nationals 3, 11 innings
At Washington, pinch-hitter Gabe Kapler singled home the decisive run in the 11th inning for Milwaukee against Washington.
Prince Fielder led off the 11th with an opposite-field double to left, then moved to third on Corey Hart’s sacrifice bunt. Kapler lined the first pitch from Saul Rivera (3-2) to center for an RBI single.
Dmitri Young hit a disputed solo homer off Brian Shouse in the eighth to tie the game after Fielder’s sacrifice fly had given the Brewers a 3-2 lead in the top of the inning.
Nationals starter Jason Bergmann pitched five and to thirds scoreless innings, stretching his shutout streak to nineteen and two thirds innings since being recalled from Triple-A Columbus on May 14. He allowed four hits, struck out eight, and left with a 2-0 lead.
