Designated hitter Gary Sheffield cleared the bases with his grand slam and
Nate Robertson tossed a complete game as the Detroit Tigers ballclub
embarrassed the Cleveland Indians by the count of 14 to 4.
 
Sheffield was a thorn in the side of the hometown fans as he enjoyed a fine
day at their team's expense.  He launched a rocket-shot out of the park for a
Grand Slam homerun (his 1st of the season) in the 1st inning and stroked a
single scoring a run in the 4th inning.  After the 4th inning, neither team
was able to score.  
 
The win went to Robertson(1-0) who allowed 4 runs in the game. Fausto
Carmona(0-1) suffered the loss.  He struggled with his control issuing 6
walks in 2 and 2/3 innings.
