A two-run homer by Lance Parrish in the fifth inning spurred the Tigers to a 7-4 victory over the A's. Parrish's blast followed a walk to Larry Herndon and overcame a 1-0 Oakland lead. The Tigers scored four more runs in the seventh on RBI singles by Lou Whitaker and Kirk Gibson, an RBI double by Tom Brookens and a wild pitch. [The Sporting News]
