Tigers Continue Skid Thanks to Clark, Padres
Behind the bravura of first baseman Tony Clark, the San Diego Padres topped the Detroit Tigers by the score of 9-1. Clark went 4-4 with a home run, 3 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Padres. Darryl Kile, who went 6.1 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 1 run on 5 hits, while walking 3 and striking out 7. His record now stands at 10-12. San Diego has now won 3 straight, while the Tigers have lost 5 in a row.

San Diego needed the clutch hitting of Vinny Castilla to notch the win. The third baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Padres on top, 3-0. For the game, Castilla had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"You score one run, you're not going to win," said Detroit skipper Julio Izquierdo. "You can have three Koufaxes and three Drysdales, you're still not going to win."
