Rookie Rick Austin, a 23-year-old lefthander with the Indians, posted a five-hit shutout for his first major league victory, beating the Tigers, 3-0. Roy Foster, who ended the previous night's game with two hits, added four more in a row before the Indians' outfielder struck out to end his batting streak.
