Tigers Mow Down Expos, 9-2
|
The rain made it unbearable at times; nonetheless, the faithful who endured the elements enjoyed themselves.
Starting pitcher Wilson Simmons was a major factor in the 9-2 Detroit Tigers triumph over the Montreal Expos. Simmons, now 7-9, was the winner. In 5 innings, he gave up 2 hits, while striking out 4, walking 0, and allowing 1 run.
The Tigers got a big hit from shortstop Mike Alexander. Facing Montreal pitcher Dave MacIntosh Jr. in the bottom of the fifth, Alexander pounded a 2-run home run to left-center. His 16th home run of the season put the Tigers ahead, 3-1.
"Wilson giving us the start that he did was huge," said Detroit manager Ryan Hetzer.
At 55-68, the Tigers claim last place in the National League Cherry.
