Homers by Andre Thornton and Mike Hargrove supported the five-hit pitching of Rick Wise as the Indians scalped the Tigers, 4-3. Thornton drilled a two-run round-tripper in the second frame and after the Tribe added another run in the fourth on an RBI double by Jim Norris, Hargrove blasted a leadoff swat in the fifth.
