The tremendous relief pitching of Tom Timmerman, who inherited a bases-loaded, none-out situation in the ninth inning, saved the Tigers' 1-0 victory over the Brewers. Mickey Lolich, who started for the Motor City crew, allowed only two hits and struck out 14 before walking Jerry McNertney and Roberto Pena and plinking Bernie Smith with a pitch to load the bases in the ninth. After Timmerman took over, Ted Kubiak forced pinch-runner Russ Snyder at the plate, Tommy Harper struck out and Dave May grounded out. The Tigers' run counted in the sixth on a walk to Dick McAuliffe and a two-out double by Jim Northrup.
