Milt Wilcox and Kevin Saucier combined on a seven-hitter and the Tigers slammed seven doubles to thump the Mariners, 7-3, and hand Mike Parrott his 18th consecutive loss -- one shy of the American League record. The Mariners' righthander has not won since opening day, 1980.

The Tigers tallied three times in the second inning when Richie Hebner led off with a double and came home on a two-bagger by Champ Summers, who scored on Lance Parrish's single. Stan Papi then doubled home Parrish. Detroit added runs in the third and fourth on sacrifice flies by Hebner and Lou Whitaker. [The Sporting News]
