Detroit (July 5) - Darrell Porter slammed a solo home run into the right field upper deck in the eighth inning, and Jim Colborn pitched a complete-game shutout as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Tigers, 1-0, Saturday afternoon at Tiger Stadium.
Colborn outdueled Tigers starter Vern Ruhle (6-7) by hurling a four-hitter and walking only one batter.
Ruhle went 7.1 innings, giving up just three hits. He carried a one-hitter into the eighth before Porter led off with his home run.
The Tigers (31-46) moved only one runner to second base all game, on Aurelio Rodriguez's double in the third inning.
The Major Said: "Vern made one mistake and it cost him. We've done this a lot this season---wasting good pitching performances. My heart breaks for the kid."
