A three-run outburst in the eighth inning gave the Indians a 6-3 decision over the Tigers. The score was 3-3 and with one out in the eighth when the winning rally began with walks to Paul Dade and pinch-hitter Johnny Grubb. After a single by Andre Thornton plated Dade, a single by Rick Manning sent Jack Morris to the showers.
