Jason Thompson hit a homer and double, batting in two runs, and Tom Veryzer accounted for two more with a triple as the Tigers defeated the Mariners, 5-2. Ben Oglivie homered for the Tigers' other tally.

Dave Rozema had a shutout in his grasp until the ninth inning when the rookie weakened and left the game with the bases loaded. The Mariners then scored their runs on a grounder by Dan Meyer and double by Bob Stinson before Steve Foucault retired the side. [The Sporting News]
