Mike Hegan hit for the cycle and drove in six runs as the Brewers teed off on Mark Fidrych and walloped the Tigers, 11-2. Fidrych, who was knocked out in the fourth inning, failed to go the distance for the first time in 15 starts at home. Hegan batted in two runs with a double in the first, homered in the third, hit a bases-loaded triple in the fourth and completed the cycle with a single in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
