Tigers Stymie New York, Take 4-1 Win
The Detroit Tigers went home winners at Tiger Stadium, thanks in large part to starter Vaughn Eshelman. Eshelman silenced the New York Mets, enabling Detroit to grab the 4-1 win. Eshelman went 7.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 7 hits, walked 1, and struck out 2. His record improves to 5-10. The win boosts the Tigers to 45-70. The loss puts the Mets at 67-46.

The Tigers beat the Mets with some clutch hitting. The double by J.T. Snow in the bottom of the first is a good example. With two down, Snow gave his team the lead, 2-0, when he came through with the big hit.

"Getting ahead of the hitters was the key," said Eshelman.
