IN THE NEWS: Tigers Walt Terrell is one out away from a no-hitter when Wally Joyner doubles. Terrell settles for a one-hit 3–0 win over the Angels. Trammell has a double and homer for Detroit.

Dave Winfield hits his 300th homer in a losing cause as the Yanks fall to Seattle, 5–2. Mike Trujillo wins his first game for Seattle.
