Joe Sparma (2-4) pitched 7.2 innings in winning his second straight decision. He walked six but only one of those walks came around to score.
Jim Northrup and Al Kaline had two hits each for Detroit (19-17), which snapped a three-game losing streak. Horton had two RBI.
Trailing 1-0, Cash and Horton connected for long balls off Washington starter Joe Coleman, giving the Tigers a 2-1 lead. The Senators tied the game in the fourth inning, but Detroit went ahead in their half of the fourth on a Horton RBI single.
The Tigers added some insurance in the fifth, as a Northrup single and an error by Washington catcher Paul Casanova produced two runs for a 5-2 lead.
The Senators got a run back in the eighth, but Fred Gladding pitched a quiet, 1-2-3 ninth to nail down his seventh save.
