The Brewers rallied for four runs in the eighth inning to defeat the Tigers, 6-5. Don Wert whacked a two-run homer for Tigers, who went into the eighth with a 5-2 lead behind Les Cain, who had allowed only three hits up to that point. However, with one out in the eighth, Mike Hegan walked and Ted Savage and Danny Walton singled for one run to chase Cain. Roberto Pena was safe on a two-base error after Tom Timmerman relieved, leading to an intentional pass for Tito Francona, loading the bases. Bernie Smith then greeted the appearance of Fred Scherman with a pinch-double, driving in the tying and winning runs. [The Sporting News]
