Tigers 8 – Royals 1
W: Jack Morris (1-0) – L: Bud Black (0-1) – | Boxscore
Tigers lead series, 1-0.
Highlights
- Alan Trammell had a night. He went 3 for 3 — with a triple and a homer — three RBI, two walks and two runs scored.
- Morris was terrific: seven innings, one run on five hits, a walk and four strikeouts. Willie Hernández pitched two flawless innings.
- Kirk Gibson, Bárbaro Garbey, Darrell Evans and Marty Castillo each had two hits. Lance Parrish and Larry Herndon homered.
- How in the world did the Royals, with 20 fewer wins than the Tigers, get to host the first two games of this series? Baseball’s ridiculous alternate-year home-field advantage nonsense, that’s how.
