Detroit, MI- Willie Horton's solo home run in the fourth inning was the only offense, as Joe Coleman pitched a complete game shutout in the Tigers 1-0 win over the Minnesota Twins at Tiger Stadium.
Coleman (16-8) limited Minnesota to two singles, and no hits after the third inning.
Ray Corbin was almost as good for the Twins. He went eight innings and allowed just three hits, but one of them was the homer to Horton (12) over the left field wall. Jim Northrup had the other two hits for Detroit, both singles.
Coleman walked one and struck out three. He retired 19 of the last 20 Twins hitters. The game ended with a double play, as pinch-hitter Dan Monzon (who walked), was off and running on a hit and run play, but Jim Nettles' soft fly ball was caught by Northrup, who threw to Norm Cash at first base to complete the "Twin" killing.
