After being shut out in three straight games, the Tigers ended their scoring drouth but still lost to the Rangers, 4-3, for their 17th straight defeat. The Rangers scored all their runs in the first inning on a forceout by Jeff Burroughs with the bases loaded, a double by Toby Harrah and single by Roy Howell.

The Tigers in the third scored their first run in 32 innings on a triple by Aurelio Rodriguez and single by Tom Veryzer. The Tigers' two other runs crossed the plate in the seventh. Ron LeFlore hit a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded and, after a walk filled the sacks again, Dan Meyer hit another sacrifice fly. [The Sporting News]
