1987 Detroit Wins World Series!

October 25, 1987

The Detroit Tigers are the 1987 World Champions. The Tigers defeated the Cincinnati Reds in Game 7 of the World Series by the score of 3-2. Detroit scored 2 unearned runs in the 1st inning when Alan Trammell reached based on an error by Reds 3rd baseman Buddy Bell with 2 out. Matt Nokes, up next, then launched a 2 run blast into the centerfield bleachers. The Tigers added a run in the 3rd and that was all the scoring they'd need. Bell hit a homerun in the 9th for the Reds but Detroit reliever Mike Henneman was able to get the final 2 outs, preserving the win for Walt Terrell and give the Tigers the 1987 Championship.

was able to put down the rally.

The Detroit Tigers topped the Cincinnati Reds in 11 innings; the final
score was 14 to 6.
 
Both teams were tied at 4 runs apiece after nine innings.  Detroit won the
hard fought contest in the 11th inning.  The biggest moment was provided by
Chet Lemon who quieted the crowd when he cleared the bases with a Grand Slam
homerun.  Detroit had 16 hits overall, while Cincinnati had 12.  
 
The victory went to Mike Henneman(2-0) who went 2/3 of an inning, allowing no
runs. Frank Williams(0-1) ended up with the loss in relief.  'They made a
couple of mistakes and I took full advantage,' Lemon said 'next time I'm sure
they'll pitch me tougher.'

WEB GEMS- Bot 8th: Dave Concepcion robbed Tom Brookens of a base hit.
 
Dave Concepcion had 2 base hits and 3 RBI as the Cincinnati Reds came back to
win one over Detroit Tigers, 7 to 2.
 
Cincinnati erupted with the game winning runs in the 9th inning when they
tallied 6 runs on 5 hits.  The key at-bat was by Concepcion who quieted the
crowd when he doubled with all three runners coming home.  Cincinnati totaled
13 hits on the night.  
 
The victory went to Rob Murphy(1-0) who went 2 innings, allowing no runs.
Doyle Alexander(0-1) was charged with the loss.  'The only way this one could
have been better', said Murphy, 'was if we had played it at home.'
