. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Capping a three-run rally in the eighth inning, pinch-runner Ike Brown scored on a wild pitch by Ken Tatum to bring the Tigers a 6-5 victory over the Angels. Al Kaline and Dick McAuliffe hit homers for the Tigers, but the Angels were able to take a 5-3 lead with the aid of four unearned runs.

In the eighth, Mickey Stanley and Kaline hit singles to chase Tom Murphy. Tatum, relieving, yielded run-scoring singles by Willie Horton and Jim Northrup to tie the game. Then, after hitting Bill Freehan with a pitch to load the bases, Tatum uncorked his wild heave, allowing Brown to score. [The Sporting News]
