The Friday Fungo: May 24

May 24, 1984: Tigers 5 – Angels 1

W: Jack Morris (9-1) – L: Jim Slaton (1-2) | Boxscore

Record: 35-5

Highlights

• A complete-game four-hitter for The Cat — with 10 strikeouts.

• Homers by Alan Trammell, his fifth of the year, and Lance Parrish, number seven, fuel the offense.

• The win puts the Tigers at the still-mind blowing 35 and 5 mark. Certainly, with the mediocre Mariners next on the schedule, 38 and 5 is assured. Right?
