A five-run explosion in the second inning carried the A's to their fourth straight victory, 6-3 over the Tigers. Singles by Jeff Newman and Mike Edwards and a walk to Tony Armas loaded the bases with one out. A single by Taylor Duncan drove home two runs and Mitchell Page followed with a three-run circuit clout to climax the rally.
