Tigers Get One-Run Win at Chicago
Chicago pitcher Lary Sorensen gave the Tigers all they could handle, but in the end, Detroit left Wrigley Field with a 4-3 win. Sorensen allowed 4 earned runs on 4 hits over 5.2 innings. Detroit reliever Larry Gura picked up the win, upping his record to 2-0. Lary Sorensen took the loss. The 'W' lifts Detroit's record to 20-26.

It could have been a different outcome for Detroit, had it not been for Jody Davis, the three-time All-Star . Davis contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the sixth inning to put Detroit up, 4-3.

Despite the victory, Davis was prickly with assembled media after the game. He said only that he was "happy with the win."
