Two doubles by Rusty Staub and two triples by Alan Trammell helped lift the Tigers to a 7-5 victory over the Orioles in 10 innings. Staub drove in four runs. After his first double accounted for a pair in the third, the Tigers fell behind, 5-2, but then rallied to tie the score in the seventh on a triple by Alan Trammell, singles by Steve Dillard and Ron LeFiore and Staub's second double.

In the 10th, Jason Thompson doubled, took third on a bunt by Steve Kemp and scored the tie-breaking run on a sacrifice fly by Lance Parrish. Aurelio Rodriguez kept the inning going with a single and counted an insurance run on Trammell's second triple. [The Sporting News]
