Fife Shocks Tigers In Minnesota Win As Detroit Falls Further Behind
Twins pitcher Dan Fife, a former Tigers farm standout, threw four strong innings in a 5-3 Minnesota victory over Detroit. Fife, back after being traded for Jim Perry earlier, haunted his old club by delivering a quality start and leaving Detroit seven games behind Baltimore in the pennant race. The loss widens Detroit’s gap in the American League standings as Minnesota and Chicago pursue third place behind Oakland.
