A two-run triple by Sandy Alomar, who was batting only .198, put the Yankees on the road to a 5-3 victory over the Tigers. Chris Chambliss and Ed Herrmann hit doubles in the fourth inning to tie the score at 1-1. Ed Brinkman singled, Herrmann stopping at third, and Alomar then drove them both home with his triple. The Yankees added two more runs for their winning margin in the ninth on a single by Roy White, pass to Ron Blomberg, single by Chambliss and sacrifice fly by Graig Nettles. [The Sporting News]
