While Vern Ruhle pitched a five-hitter, the Tigers broke loose at bat with 14 hits and walloped the White Sox, 10-1. Jason Thompson, Tigers' rookie first baseman, drove in three runs with a double and his first major league homer. Willie Horton also homered for Tigers, while Jorge Orta saved the White Sox from being shutout with a circuit clout in the ninth.
