With just a half game to go to get a share of first place in the AL East, the Tigers wanted to finish their three-game sweep of the Brewers. They had Jack Morris on the mound to face Mike Caldwell...or more like CaldNOTwell!
In the top of the first Rusty Kuntz made his Statis Pro season debut at the top of the lineup and immediately doubled. Alan Trammell dug in after that an promptly launched one into the stands for a 2-0 lead. In the top of the second Kuntz singled home Howard Johnson with two outs, and Trammell went deep AGAIN!
Meanwhile, Jack Morris mowed down the Milwaukee lineup. Through eight innings he was all goose-eggs on the scoreboard with only four Brewers reaching base. But in the bottom of the ninth he lost his shutout on a two-RBI single from Jim Gantner. He struck out Roy Howell, though, for the complete game victory.
