Brian Kingman pitched a three-hitter as the A's breezed to an 8-1 victory over the Tigers. After a two-out single by Dave Revering in the first inning produced a 1-0 lead, the A's clinched the outcome in the second with a two-run triple by Dwayne Murphy and single by Jim Essian. Rob Picciolo singled home another tally in the third and Jeff Newman cracked a three-run homer in the fourth.
