Tigers Reel In 7-5 Win
Getting offensive support from Ty Cobb, the Detroit Tigers topped the Kansas City Royals, 7-5. Cobb was 2-3 with a triple and 2 walks, while scoring 3 runs for the Tigers. Detroit reliever Hooks Dauss picked up the win, while Mark Gubicza took the loss for Kansas City. Willie Hernandez was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 23 of 26 save opportunities.

Tied up with the Royals in the top of the fourth inning, the Tigers got a boost from left fielder Al Kaline. With runners on 2nd and 3rd, Kaline saw a first pitch sinker from Steve Busby and hit a run-scoring single to break the stalemate and put Detroit on top, 6-5.

"It's always a heck of a lot easier to get to sleep after a win," Kaline told the Detroit News. "I know I'll rest easy tonight."

Detroit is now 45-48, while Kansas City is 49-45.
