At Comerica Tigers Park, the Texas Rangers and Detroit Tigers were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.

The Detroit Tigers polished off the Texas Rangers by the score of 6-2. The largest share of the credit belonged to designated hitter Tad Johnson.

Detroit manager Robert Carson praised his team's "businesslike approach."

By defeating Texas, the second-place Tigers improved to 18-15.
