Padres Lose to Tigers, 5-2
The Detroit Tigers topped the San Diego Padres, 5-2, in United League action at Jack Murphy Stadium. The player of the game was Detroit pitcher Vaughn Eshelman. The winning pitcher was Eshelman, now 2-2. He tossed 7.1 innings of 4-hit ball, while walking 5 and fanning 2. Danny Graves locked down his 1st save.

Detroit relied on the hitting of Howard Battle to pick up the win. The third baseman ripped a run-scoring triple in the top of the fourth inning to put the Tigers on top, 1-0. For the game, Battle had 1 triple and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We had a good game plan," Eshelman said, "and we were able to execute it."

The Padres fall to 10-11 and continue their wobbly start to the 1997 season.
