David Cone helped the Detroit Rockets end a 3-game losing streak, holding Oakland to 2 runs on 6 hits in a complete game 5-2 win. It was only the 2nd win for Cone this season, matching his performance in his 1st start on April 3rd. Manny Ramirez got Detroit on the board with an RBI double off Whitey Ford in the 1st. Dobie Moore tripled and scored in the 2nd, and after a sacrifice fly, the Rockets had a 3-0 lead. Dwight Evans extended the lead with a double in the 5th. A two-out RBI triple by Lou Gehrig finally broke up Cone’s shutout in the 6th. After Bill Freehan hit a solo home run in the 9th off Bob Lemon to make it 5-1, Mickey Cochrane hit an RBI double to give Oakland a little hope in the 9th. But Cone retired the next three batters to finish things out. With both teams out of the playoffs, fans are watching other story lines. In limited time this season, Moore is hitting .424.
