After striking out in his first two tries against Nolan Ryan, Tim Corcoran tagged the Angels' fireballer for a three-run homer in the eighth inning to power the Tigers to a 9-6 victory. Corcoran came into the game in the second inning after Steve Kemp was hit on the right forearm by a Ryan fast ball. Bobby Bonds homered with a man on base for the Angels in the third.
