Dave Rozema recorded his first complete game of the season in pitching the Tigers to a 2-0 victory over the Rangers, with the scoring help of a two-run homer by Kirk Gibson. The rookie, who had only one hit in his last 28 at-bats entering the game, drilled a low liner that just cleared the fence in left-center. The clout drove home Alan Trammell, who was aboard via a single. [The Sporting News]
