Rallying from a five-run deficit, the Indians overcame the Tigers, 8-7. The Indians trailed, 7-2, going into the sixth inning but drew to within one run on a bases-loaded homer by Bo Diaz. In the seventh a single by Jorge Orta, walk to Mike Hargrove, double by Joe Charboneau and single by Toby Harrah produced the Indians' tying and winning runs and enabled Bob Owchinko to pick up his first A.L. victory. Owchinko permitted only two hits in 4 1/3 innings of relief. [The Sporting News]
