Ron LeFlore beat out an infield hit in the ninth inning and scored on two errors to bring the Tigers a 4-3 victory over the Angels. After his hit, LeFlore scampered to second when Angel reliever Paul Hartzell threw wildly on a pickoff attempt. Alex Johnson then grounded to second baseman Jerry Remy, who made a bad throw to first, allowing LeFlore to score. [The Sporting News]
