The Detroit Tigers saddled the Washington Senators with a loss at Tiger Stadium. The final score was 14-4. Tony Fernandez, named player of the game, was 4 for 5, including 3 singles and 1 home run. The Detroit shortstop scored 2 runs and drove in 4. Detroit is now 55-54, Washington 46-61.

Fernandez said his wife shared good advice with him before the game. "She said, 'Don't allow this game to make you mad.' When I thought about it, I realized this is just a game. I was able to relax at the plate."
