Paced by Steve Kemp, who knocked in four runs with a single, double and homer, the Tigers routed the Indians, 10-2. After scoring their initial run in the first inning on a sacrifice fly by Jason Thompson, the Tigers added two tallies in the second on RBI singles by Ron LeFlore and Lou Whitaker. The Tigers erupted for four runs in the fourth frame, which featured a two-run single by Thompson, RBI double by Kemp and run-scoring single by LeFlore. Kemp hit a three-run homer in the seventh.
