The Mariners collected seven hits off Dave Rozema but failed to score and suffered their sixth shutout in 25 games this season, losing to the Tigers, 5-0. The Tigers picked up two unearned runs in first the inning, added a pair when Steve Kemp walked and Milt May homered in the fourth and wrapped up their scoring with singles by Ron LeFlore, Rusty Staub and Jason Thompson in the seventh.

Craig Reynolds rapped three singles for the Mariners and set a club record with six consecutive hits over a three-game span before ending his streak with a groundout in the eighth inning. [The Sporting News]
