Overall, the Tigers are favored again despite losing the first game.

Both teams strand a pair of runners in the first inning.

Detroit loaded the bases with nobody out in the top of the third and the Tigers cashed in with four runs.

The Rangers loaded the bases in the bottom of the third and Toby Harrah scored on a wild pitch.

After three: Detroit 4 Texas 1.

There was a 52 minute rain delay in the top of the fourth inning.

The Tigers loaded the bases with one out in the top of the sixth. An error and hit batter helped set that up. A second error led to a run being scored.

After six: Detroit 5 Texas 1.

Norm Cash hit a solo home run in the top of the seventh. And that would be the last pitch thrown by Gogolewski.

The Tigers added a run off Casey Cox in the top of the eighth.

Final score: Detroit 7 Texas 1.
