Rangers Drop 8-3 Decision
The Detroit Tigers beat the Texas Rangers by a score of 8-3. Detroit shortstop Mark Belanger deserved the lion's share of the credit. Belanger was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 3 for the Tigers. Texas drops to 13-20.

Pedro Lopez had a big 3-run home run for the Tigers in the top of the eighth inning. With Detroit leading 4-1 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a fastball from 23-year old left-handed pitcher Luke Little and swatted a home run to right. It was his 3rd home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Tigers ahead, 7-1.

"This kind of win will certainly make our fans happy," Lopez told the Detroit Chronicle.
