A two-run homer by Lance Parrish in the 12th inning enabled the Tigers to outlast the Indians, 11-9, in a marathon that took four hours and 16 minutes. Losing pitcher Sid Monge walked .189 hitter John Wockenfuss and Parrish fouled off two bunt attempts trying to move pinch-runner Darrell Brown to second before drilling a 3-2 pitch into the left field seats for his third straight game-winning hit.
