A three-run rally in the eighth inning lifted the Tigers to a 6-4 victory over the Rangers and extended Texas' losing streak to 11 games. The winning surge began with one out when Enos Cabell stretched a hit off shortstop Mark Wagner's glove into a double and went to third on Kirk Gibson's infield single.

A single by Jerry Turner scored Cabell and Larry Herndon's single chased Gibson home. When the ball skipped past left fielder Billy Sample, Turner raced all the way around from first. Bill Stein's failure to execute a hit-and-run with the bases loaded and one out in the top of the eighth cost the Rangers a chance to pad their 4-3 lead. [The Sporting News]
