The Detroit Tigers defeated the Oakland Athletics, 11-4, at Oakland Coliseum. Detroit first baseman Mark McGwire was named player of the game for his superb performance. He was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4. Dave Fleming, who went 9 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 4 runs on 9 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 3. His record now stands at 1-6. Detroit, now 21-28, holds 5th place in the United League East Division.

With Detroit leading 2-1 in the top of the third, McGwire hit a fastball from Kurt Kepshire for a 2-run home run. It was his 9th home run of the season and put the Tigers ahead, 4-1.

"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," McGwire told the Detroit Observer.
