The Oakland Athletics topped the Detroit Tigers by the score of 8-7, with the largest share of the credit going to left fielder Jose Canseco. Canseco was 2-4 with a home run and 2 walks. He drove in 5 runs and scored once for the Athletics. Oakland reliever Jose Rijo picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Bryan Kelly absorbed the loss.

Dave Kingman, who is tied for 10th in the AL in RBI with 37, chipped in for Oakland with a solo home run in the bottom of the tenth. For the game, the designated hitter had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 2 runs scored, and 1 RBI.

"There's nothing like the buzz of a walk-off win," Canseco said.
