Homeruns- B.Hunter(1st), D.Strange(8th)
Montreal won the game with a run in the 9th inning. After an out was recorded, Mike Lansing delivered a base-hit. Rondell White dug into the batters box next, but he struck out. David Segui then was walked
intentionally. Darrin Fletcher stepped in and he doubled giving Montreal the victory and sending the 30,559 home-town fans home happy. Detroit was out-hit by Montreal, 12 hits to 8.
The Tigers were apparently so scared of David Segui, the hottest bat in the majors, that they intentionally walked him in the 9th to push the winning run into scoring position. Bubba Trammell's weak arm couldn't throw the winning run out at the plate.
The Tigers had a huge first inning, knocking out starter Hermanson, but could not hold off the lead. The entire bullpen collasped in the late innings. Reliever Mike Myers was the real goat. He simply couldn't record an out and walked many.
The Tigers would've had the game safely in their hands in the 7th, but Brian Hunter with a 95% chance of scoring, rolled a 19 and Fletcher blocked the plate as Hunter collided with him. Incredible play.
"We really seemed like we were rounding a corner, improving, but things are again looking grim," said McNeil after the game. "I'm just deflated right now. We had that game on a silver platter. We had a total open net and missed. It was a shocking feeling."
