Tigers Roll to 8-3 Win Over Expos
Detroit Tigers starter Frank Viola pitched a strong game against the Montreal Expos at Olympic Stadium, leading the Tigers to a 8-3 win. Detroit is now 36-45, Montreal 28-52.

Albert Belle, who finished 3rd in the UL in slugging percentage with .528 last year, chipped in for Detroit with a 2-run home run in the top of the first. For the game, the left fielder had 2 hits in 5 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 2 RBI.

"You've got to ride the highs and the lows in baseball in order to succeed," Viola told the Detroit Times. "Right now I'm feeling good, but that don't mean squat for tomorrow."
