Dave Fleming(1-2) was charged with the loss in relief.  Aldred was pleased
with his performance.  He noted, 'I had good command of all my pitches.  Just
as important, my location was right on.'

1991 AL Standings

September 1, 1991

 The last full month of the 1991 AL regular season is upon us. The Detroit Tigers lead the AL East and the Chicago White Sox are still on top of the AL West. The AL East 2nd place Toronto Blue Jays are 4.5 games behind Detroit. Toronto had a 9 game winning streak in August but they also had a 6 game losing streak. Chicago had the best record in August, 19-11, and that's allowed them a little breathing room over Seattle and Minnesota. The Kansas City Royals had a dreadful month going 9-18. They've pretty much eliminated themselves from the pennant race.

1991 AL Detroit Tiger Game and News

August 25, 1991

 The Detroit Tigers won a hard fought game in extra innings today against the Seattle Mariners. With the game tied 2-2, Cecil Fielder hit a dramatic walk off homerun with 2 out in the 10th inning. For Fielder, it was his MLB leading 45th homer of the season and league leading 112th RBI.
 Detroit will now head out to the west coast for an 8 game road trip starting in California. They currently have a 6 game lead over the 2nd place Toronto Blue Jays. The Tigers received some bad news on Mike Henneman today. He'll be out about 3 weeks with an undisclosed injury. That'll put even more pressure on Detroit's already suspect bullpen.
