Mark Fidrych faced only two batters in the first inning before leaving the mound with stiffness in his right shoulder, but the Tigers went on to defeat the Indians, 6-3, to snap a six-game losing streak. Fidrych gave up a single by Miguel Dilone and hit Dell Alston with a pitch. Roger Weaver relieved before giving way to Aurelio Lopez, who was the winner when the Tigers broke a 3-3 tie with three runs in the eighth, capping their scoring with a homer by Champ Summers.
