In his first start of the season, David Clyde allowed only four hits before being lifted in the seventh inning and gained the victory when the Indians defeated the Tigers, 4-2. Clyde previously pitched one inning in relief June 15 in his other appearance since going on the disabled list with gastritis in spring training.

The Indians scored twice in the second inning on singles by Andre Thornton and Toby Harrah, a sacrifice fly by Mike Hargrove, single by Jim Norris and forceout by Tom Veryzer. Thornton homered in the third and Norris, who had a 4-for-4 day, batted in the Tribe's last tally with a single in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
