Getting four-hit pitching from Diego Segui, the Athletics ended a four-game losing streak with a 7-0 victory over the Tigers, who were stopped after winning four games in the row. Don Mincher homered with a man on base in the second inning and drew a pass with the bases loaded in the eighth to get credit for another RBI. Felipe Alou, who collected three of the A's 12 hits, batted in two runs. [The Sporting News]
