Detroit, MI- The Tigers slammed five home runs off starter Jim Lonborg, and went on to a 7-1 win over the Milwaukee Brewers at Tiger Stadium.
Dick McAuliffe hit two homers (6) and was joined by Mickey Stanley (two-run shot); Aurelio Rodriguez (solo); and Jim Northrup (solo).
It was all more than enough to support Tigers starter Joe Coleman (15-7), who pitched his 13th complete game, surrendering just three hits.
The Tigers (59-38) snapped a two-game losing streak.
Coleman retired the first 13 Brewers, and by the time Milwaukee got a base runner, the Tigers led 3-0 and were never seriously threatened.
McAuliffe had no home runs less than three weeks ago, but now has six in his past 13 games.
After the game, the Tigers announced they had claimed lefty Woodie Fryman off waivers from the Philadelphia Phillies. Fryman, mainly a starter, posted a 4-10 record with a 4.46 ERA in 23 games (119.2 IP) for the Phillies.
Wayne Comer was sent to Toledo to make room on the roster for the 32 year-old Fryman.
