A two-run homer by Ben Oglivie capped a three-run outburst in the eighth inning that enabled the Brewers to shade the Tigers, 4-3, and take over first place in the A.L. East Division. With runners on first and third and one out in the eighth, Ted Simmons bounced a potential double-play grounder back to the mound.
