May 8, 1984: Tigers 5 – Royals 2
W: Jack Morris (6-1) – L: Bud Black (3-2) | Boxscore
Record: 24-4
Highlights
- After seemingly years of being stymied by Dan Quisenberry, the Tigers got to him in the seventh inning — with an exclamation mark.
- The Tigers trailed 2-0 and, with Quisenberry on the mound, the road winning streak again looked in peril … until a two-out grand slam by Alan Trammell as part of a five-run rally.
- Larry Herndon, Darrell Evans and Chet Lemon had two hits apiece.
- Morris turned in a seven-hit, five-strikeout complete game.
