Tigers 5 – Padres 2
W: Milt Wilcox – L: Tim Lollar – S: Willie Hernández | Boxscore
Tigers lead series, 2-1
Highlights
- A week after I attended the ALCS-clinching game, I was able to attend this game — ticket price: $25 — it was a dream come true.
- The highlights: a Marty Castillo homer, six solid innings from Wilcox, and a brilliant catch by Chet Lemon.
- Three Padres pitchers allowed 11 walks but just seven hits.
- Alan Trammell and Lemon both had two hits, and Tram had two walks.
- I was able to get a few notable autographs on the cover of my World Series program: Norm Cash, Tommy Lasorda, National League President Chub Feeney … and Detroit radio legend Dick Purtan.
