A three-run homer by Ben Oglivie and back-to-back blows by Steve Kemp and Jason Thompson powered the Tigers to a 5-4 victory over the Mariners. Oglivie hit his homer in the fourth inning after a pass to Steve Kemp and single by Thompson.

The Mariners came back to tie the score in the fifth on a single by Steve Braun, homer by Larry Milbourne, pass to Julio Cruz and double by Bill Stein before Kemp and Thompson shattered the deadlock with their consecutive circuit clouts in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
