Tigers Win at Baltimore, 10-4
The Detroit Tigers stopped the Baltimore Orioles, 10-4, at Memorial Stadium. The Tigers got a big game from Russ Johnson, who was 2-2 with a double, 2 walks, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 3 runs. Steve Trachsel picked up the win with 9 innings of work. He allowed 4 earned runs on 12 hits, while walking 4 and striking out 5. On the season, he is now 7-18. Baltimore's current losing streak has reached 4 games.

It could have been a different outcome for Detroit, had it not been for Joe Orsulak, the 35-year old left fielder . Orsulak contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the sixth inning to put Detroit up, 3-1.

"The boys came out and just played their butts off," said Detroit manager Julio Izquierdo.
