DETROIT -- Todd Frazier told his teammates he was going to hit a home run for his 500th career hit. He more than backed up those words.

Frazier blasted two solo homers and the Cincinnati Reds snapped a three-game losing streak with a 5-2 win over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night at Comerica Park.

The Reds third baseman broke a 2-2 tie in the seventh inning with his 500th hit, a shot into the visitor's bullpen beyond the left-center field wall.

"Just probably joking around," said Frazier, who has five career multi-homer games. "I just said it was going to be in the bushes (in center), basically, and it was almost there. It was close, but we'll take that every time."

Frazier also had a solo shot in the fifth to reach 20 homers for the second time in his career. He's third in the National League in home runs behind Miami's Giancarlo Stanton and Washington's Bryce Harper.

"I know I can hit the ball out of any park," he said. "Not to be cocky or anything about it, but I've got power and I'm pretty much showing it. Whether it's a big park or not, I'm trying to hit the ball hard and fortunately today I got underneath a couple. I've been hitting a lot of line drives lately and that's all you can really ask for as a hitter."

Designated hitter Jay Bruce also homered for Cincinnati (29-35) in the second game of the home-and-home series.

The four-game series shifts to Cincinnati on Wednesday.

Winning pitcher Mike Lorenzen (2-2) allowed two runs (one earned) and six hits in six innings. The rookie was knocked out in the fifth inning by the Chicago Cubs in his previous outing.

"The challenge with young pitchers sometimes is buying into the fact you belong here," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "The way he went about his business today, he just showed he was willing to go out there and attack."

Aroldis Chapman struck out three of the four batters he faced in the ninth to secure his 14th save. Chapman's last two pitches to Detroit catcher James McCann were clocked at 103 mph.

"You've got to start the bat a little bit earlier, which often makes you chase pitches out of the zone that you normally wouldn't even be swinging at," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. "He's tough. He's one of the elite closers in the game."

Ausmus was fuming afterward about the instant replay system. He challenged an out call at the plate that would have given his team the lead in the fifth and lost. Center fielder Anthony Gose was tagged out by catcher Brayan Pena on the play after the Tigers had scored the tying run.

"This year, in my mind, instant replay has regressed," he said. "It's gone backwards. I know I'm not the only one across baseball who feels that way.

"Very quickly in 2014, you had an understanding where that line was between sufficient and insufficient evidence. That line is blurry now. There were a number of calls this year that I think a year ago would have been overturned."

First baseman Miguel Cabrera and left fielder Yoenis Cespedes had RBI singles for the Tigers (34-31).

Losing pitcher Kyle Ryan (1-1), making his second start of the season, gave up four runs and five hits in 6 1/3 innings

Frazier launched Ryan's first pitch of the seventh over the wall to give Cincinnati a 3-2 lead. The Reds added a run in the inning on center fielder Billy Hamilton's bloop RBI single against reliever Alex Wilson.

The Reds tacked on an unearned run in the ninth.

NOTES: The Reds recalled RHPs Donovan Hand and Carlos Contreras from Triple -A Louisville and optioned OF Brennan Boesch to the Bats. They also placed RHP Jon Moscot on the 15-day disabled list with a dislocated left shoulder. Boesch was hitting just .125 with one RBI in 56 at-bats. .... Moscot, who was injured making a diving tag during the Reds' 6-0 loss to the Tigers on Monday, will undergo tests in Cincinnati o
