Blasting off with a seven-run first inning, the Tigers broke a four-game losing streak with a 15-6 victory over the Angels. Richie Hebner drilled the two-run single for the first tallies of the big frame and Lou Whitaker climaxed the outburst with a three-run double. Steve Kemp, who drove in three runs, hit an RBI triple in the fourth and homer in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
