Detroit Wins, Topping Atlanta, 2-1
The Tigers faced a stiff challenge from Atlanta pitcher Phil Niekro, but persevered to claim a win at Turner Field. The final score was 2-1. Niekro went 9 innings and allowed 2 runs. Willie Hernandez collected his 4th save. The loss makes Atlanta 94-66.

Detroit used the stroke of Darrell Evans to get the win. The third baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Tigers ahead, 2-0. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"We won," said Evans. "But they made us earn it."
