DETROIT (AP) - Magglio Ordonez ended a career-long, 40-game
(AP) --
drought without a home run by connecting for the go-ahead shot,
leading the Detroit Tigers over the Chicago Cubs 6-5 Thursday for
their seventh straight victory.
Ordonez connected for a two-run homer in the fourth inning. The
AL Central leaders held on to complete the sweep, and matched their
longest winning streak of the season.
Ordonez had two hits Wednesday in his first game since cutting
his flowing locks. Maybe the slump was in his hair, which is now
being auctioned off on eBay for charity.
