Posting their fourth straight victory and the second under interim pilot Dick Tracewski, the Tigers defeated the Mariners, 7-3. A five-run fourth inning proved decisive. The outburst began with two walks and Phil Mankowski tied the score at 2-2 with a one-out single. After Mark Wagner walked to load the bases, Ron LeFlore unloaded a three-run triple and scored on a sacrifice fly by Alan Trammell. [The Sporting News]
