The Tigers swept a doubleheader from the White Sox, winning the opener, 11-2, as Mark Fidrych posted his first victory since 1978, and capturing the nightcap, 6-1. Champ Summers started the Tigers' scoring in the first game with a solo homer in the fourth inning. A three-run round-tripper by Alan Trammell highlighted a seven-run fifth.

A four-run outburst in the fifth inning carried the Tigers to their second game win. A single by John Wockenfuss accounted for two tallies, the third run registered on a throwing error by Jim Morrison and the final marker resulted from a forceout by Tim Corcoran. [The Sporting News]
