Detroit, MI- The Tigers took an early 3-0 lead and held on to beat the California Angels, 3-2, to take the weekend series at Tiger Stadium.
Chris Colletta's two-run homer in the sixth inning drew the Angels close, but John Hiller pitched two perfect innings to earn the save (4) for Bill Slayback (4-6).
Aurelio Rodriguez got the Tigers (70-46) going in the first inning with a two-run homer (12) off Angels starter Clyde Wright.
The Tigers added a run in the third when second baseman Sandy Alomar threw wildly to first base after snaring a Willie Horton smash, enabling Rodriguez to score from third base.
