Mets Lose to Tigers, 8-4
The Detroit Tigers bested the New York Mets, 8-4, at Tiger Stadium. Jose R Herrera was named player of the game. He was 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times. The Tigers, with just their 2nd win so far in 1997, have yet to catch fire.

Had Adrian Brown not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Brown hit a 2-run double. That made the score 6-4, in favor of the Tigers.

"We take it day by day here," said Herrera, "and today was a good one for us."
