Athletics Come Back Late to Top Tigers
The Detroit Tigers got a superb performance from first baseman Mark McGwire. Still, it wasn't enough to beat Oakland. The Athletics won the game, 8-7. In spite of the loss, McGwire was named the player of the game. He went 2-4 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The win was credited to Bill Wegman in relief. His record improves to 2-0. Scott Brown took the loss. The Athletics bumped their record to 41-32 with this latest triumph.

Oakland used the timely hitting of George Bell to seize the win. The first baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Athletics on top, 8-7. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"The name of the game is scoring runs," Bell said. "We did a good job of that today."
