Detroit pitcher Jerry Augustine did his part in helping his team beat the Texas Rangers, 9-0. The left-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. Augustine, now 4-4, was the winner. In 5 innings, he gave up 1 hit, while striking out 2, walking 0, and allowing no runs. Detroit is now 64-53, Texas 50-66.

Lonnie Smith dealt the Rangers a blow in the bottom of the fifth. Batting with a runner on 2nd and Detroit leading 1-0, Smith, who is tied for 9th in the AL in stolen bases with 43, hit a 1-1 curveball for a run-scoring single.

"It's no secret that good defense follows around people who throw strikes," said Detroit manager Hector Rodriguez.
