Although the Rangers smacked four homers, their six-game winning streak came to an end with a 13-6 loss to the Tigers. Doyle Alexander, who started for the Rangers in search of his sixth straight victory, was knocked out in the third inning after giving up a pass to Steve Kemp with the bases loaded and yielding a three-run double by Jason Thompson.
