Lance Parrish hit a three-run homer and Richie Hebner rapped three singles and drove in two runs as the Tigers defeated the Blue Jays, 7-2, for their eighth straight victory. The Tigers put the game away with five runs in the first inning.

A double by Ricky Peters, pass to Steve Kemp, single by Hebner and grounder by Champ Summers, with 
the batter safe on an error, produced the first two runs before Parrish hit his homer. Hebner added his second RBI with a single in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
