Tigers Drop Another One
Washington and Detroit put this game in the books despite some rain.

Washington Senators starter Jim Neidlinger was in fine form against the Detroit Tigers at Tiger Stadium, leading his team to a 6-3 win. Troy Percival was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 34 of 39 save opportunities.

The Senators got an important contribution from shortstop Alex Rodriguez, who in the top of the third stroked a 1-0 fastball into right for a run-scoring triple. It was his 5th triple of the season and put the Senators ahead, 1-0.

"Jim's tempo and rhythm were good," said Senators manager Alexander Cumana. "He was the key to us winning."

The slumping Tigers have lost 6 straight.
