Tigers Earn Late Win
The Detroit Tigers topped the Minnesota Twins by a score of 5-4 in 11 innings. Leading the way was catcher Bill Freehan. Freehan was 4-5 with a double and 3 singles for the Tigers. Detroit reliever Willie Hernandez snagged the win, upping his record to 3-5. Rick Aguilera shouldered the loss. John Hiller sewed up the save, his 7th.

The game was at a stalemate until third baseman Darrell Evans came to bat in the top of the 11th. Facing Minnesota pitcher Rick Aguilera, he hit a 2-1 curveball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Detroit on top, 5-4.

"When there are games to be won, you win them," said Detroit manager .

With the win over Minnesota, the Tigers improved to 73-77.
