With a double by Rusty Staub as the key blow, the Tigers scored two runs in the eighth inning to defeat the Brewers, 3-2. Tito Fuentes singled and came home on Staub's double to break a 1-1 tie. Staub took third on the throw and then counted what proved to be the winning run when Don Money bobbled a grounder by Steve Kemp. Sal Bando scored both of the Brewers' runs, hitting a double in the fourth inning and homer in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
