A six-run outburst in the fourth inning enabled the Tigers to defeat the Angels, 10-4. Successive singles by Aurelio Rodriguez, John Wockenfuss, Chuck Scrivener and Ron LeFlore accounted for the first two runs in the uprising. Pedro Garcia then doubled for another tally before Alex Johnson came up and unloaded a three-run homer to clip the Angels' wings. [The Sporting News]
