The Tigers breezed past the Brewers, 8-1, as Rusty Staub drove in four runs and Jim Slaton beat his former teammates for the second time in one week. Staub drove in a third-inning run with a sacrifice fly, blasted a two-run homer in the seventh and hit an RBI double during a three-run ninth inning. [The Sporting News]
