ALCS Game 1
California 4 Detroit 3
Mike Witt took the mound against Jack Morris. Witt handcuffed
the Tigers for 7 innings, while Morris was in trouble most of
the game. The Angels pushed across 2 in the 2nd on two-out
singles by Tim Foli and Rod Carew followed by a long double by
Fred Lynn. In the 4th, Bobby Grich walked, Foli singled again,
Carew moved the runners up, and Lynn came through again with a
2-out single to make it 4-0. In the 8th, Witt faltered and gave
up singles to Chet Lemon and Lou Whitaker, so Bruce Kison came
on. He immediately gave up an RBI single to Larry Herndon, then
made things interesting with 3 straight walks. With the score
4-3 and the bases loaded, Kison got Glenn Wilson to hit into an
inning-ending double play. He put down the Tigers 1-2-3 in the
9th to finish off a very shaky save. Fred Lynn was the star,
driving in all 4 runs.

ALCS Game 2
Detroit 7 California 0
Dan Petry vs. Geoff Zahn in this one. It was very tight through
6, with the only run provided by a Chet Lemon homerun. In the
7th, Doug Decinces committed an error to open the inning, and
then the floodgates opened. Lemon singled, Wilson singled,
Trammell doubled, and Tom Brookens doubled. When the dust
settled it was 5-0 Detroit. The Tigers added 2 more in the 9th,
and Petry easily finished off a 5-hit shutout.

Tiger Stadium Time 3:15, 62ø, Clear, Rain, Wind: 4 MPH Out to CF Day Game
ALCS Game 3
The action shifted to Detroit with Milt Wilcox vs. Ken Forsch.
This was a back-and-forth game. The Tigers struck first on a
Lemon double and a Herndon single. DeCinces tied it with a homer
in the 2nd, then he put them ahead in the 4th with a double
after an error by Trammell. Detroit grabbed the lead back with 3
in three 5th on a double, 4 singles and a sac fly.
Unfortunately, Wilcox couldn't hold the lead as California
scored 2 in the 6th on 2 singles and 2 walks. It could have been
much worse as the 2nd run scored on a double play with the bases
loaded before Wilcox got out of the inning. The Angels got 2
more in the 7th on a single, double (Lynn again!), 3 walks (2
intentional), and a wild pitch. Again it could have been much
worse as they left the bases loaded. Forsch then retired 6
straight before Luis Sanchez came on for a 1-2-3 save. That put
the Angels one game away from the World Series.

Game MVP:Jack Morris
Tiger Stadium Time 3:04, 64ø, Wind: 4 MPH In from RF Day Game
ALCS Game 4
Jack Morris came back on 3 days rest to face Bruce Kison. It was
a pitchers' duel with no score through 3. Morris weakened in the
4th, allowing 2 runs on 3 singles and a sac fly. The Tigers came
back in the 4th to make it 2-1 on 2 singles, a walk, and a sac
fly, but they left runners on 2nd and 3rd. In the 5th, the
Tigers tied it when Herndon singled, went to 2nd on an error,
and scored on a single by John Wockenfuss. Dave Goltz came on in
the 6th and let the Tigers take the lead on a single by Jerry
Turner and a double by Chet Lemon. And that was it as Morris got
stronger, allowing only two baserunners the rest of the game.
Series tied 2-2!!

GWRBI-Parrish
Game MVP:Lance Parrish
Tiger Stadium Time 2:57, 64ø, Wind: 4 MPH In from RF Day Game
ALCS Game 5
This winner-take-all game started with controversy when the
Tigers passed up game 2 star Dan Petry on 3 days rest in favor
of journeyman Jerry Ujdur. Game 1 star Bobby Witt took the hill
for California. That decision looked horrible right away for
Detroit as the Angels scored 2 in the 1st on a double, single, 2
walks, and a sac fly. They once again left the bases loaded
however....that would come back to haunt them. Ujdur walked Tim
Foli to start the 2nd, and Captain Hook went to Dave
Rucker...that immediately stabilized the game for Detroit. In
the bottom of the 2nd, the Tigers tied it when Witt walked in
one run with 2 outs, then Tim Foli fumbled an easy grounder to
let in the tying run. That's the way it stayed until the 6th
when Lance Parrish, who was having an awful series at the plate
up to that point, wrapped a long homerun just barely around the
left field foul pole to make it 4-2 Detroit. The Angels got 2 on
to start the 7th, but Dave Tobik came on to end the threat. The
Tigers added an insurance run in the 7th, and had another
potential run thrown out at the plate in the 8th. Tobik weakened
in the 9th, allowing a run on a triple and a ground out, before
finishing off the 3 inning save to send Detroit to the World
Series.
