Swinging at reliever Steve Foucault's first pitch, Ed Brinkman doubled to drive in the tie-breaking run as the Tigers scored twice in the 11th inning to defeat the Rangers, 4-2. The Tigers counted their initial pair in the fourth on a homer by Ben Oglivie, single by Mickey Stanley, a stolen base and single by Brinkman. A homer by Duke Sims in the fifth and singles by Dave Nelson, Alex Johnson and Mike Hargrove in the eighth tied the score.

In the 11th, Stanley walked and Jerry Moses singled for the Tigers before Foucault replaced Jackie Brown. Stanley scored on Brinkman's double. Moses stopped at third and counted an insurance tally on a grounder by John Knox. [The Sporting News]
