Getting a good performance from first baseman Mark McGwire, the Detroit Tigers defeated the Oakland Athletics, 5-2. McGwire belted 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice for the Tigers. Detroit is now 19-14.

In the bottom of the seventh, McGwire had one of his most important at-bats: a 3-run home run off Jaime Navarro that staked the Tigers to a 5-2 lead.

"I was able to barrel up some pitches," said McGwire.
