Record: 92-52 — 11.5 games up on Toronto

Magic Number: 8

Highlights

  • Flanagan pitched his fourth complete game against the Tigers in 1984 — and allowed two earned runs total. He gave up five hits and struck out five.
  • The score was 2-1 heading to the bottom of the eighth and Eddie Murray added an insurance run with his 27th homer of the year, off Aurelio López.

W: Juan Berenguer (8-9) – L: Mike Flanagan (11-12) – S: Willie Hernández (28) | Boxscore

Record: 89-51 — 8.5 games up on Toronto

Magic Number: 15

Highlights

  • Berenguer was the story of this one. The Tigers gave him a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first, and he made it hold up. He pitched 71/3 scoreless innings, allowing just two hits and striking out seven. Willie took it the rest of the way, giving up just one hit.
  • On the other side, Flanagan was terrific. He gave up six hits, all singles except for Alan Trammell‘s double. Cal Ripken, Jr. made two errors, including a bad throw that allowed Tram to score on a Bárbaro Garbey single.
  • The Tigers have an off day before traveling to Toronto for a weekend showdown.
