AL Play In Game: Jack-ed !!! - Tigers defeat Twins 2-0

The Tigers score two runs in the second as Rusty Staub works Geoff Zahn for a walk and scores on Bill Freehan's triple.  Freeham came home on a sacrifice fly by Norm Cash.  Jack Morris got the start on the basis of his shutout of the Twins during the regular season and held the Twins scoreless, ably helped by 3 twin killings.  Tom :"Terrific" Timmerman put out a fire in the 8th with the fourth double play of the game.  John Hiller earned his 8th save of the season by putting down the Twins 1-2-3 in the ninth.  The Tigers advance to the playoffs to face the Yankees who took three out of four from the Tigers in the last series of the season.
