Regular season
Cecil Fielder was left off the All Star team despite leading the league in RBIs at the midway point. At season's end, Fielder wound up third to Juan González and Mark McGwire in the American League home run chase. His 124 RBIs made him the first American Leaguer since Babe Ruth to lead the majors in runs batted in for three consecutive seasons.[4]
On September 25, Sparky Anderson tied Hughie Jennings for most wins as Tigers manager (1,131 wins). He became the team's most successful manager two days later, with a 13-3 victory over the Cleveland Indians.[5]
