Although Frank Howard collected five hits, including two homers, the Senators lost to the Tigers, 8-7, in 12 innings. Jim Northrup homered with two men on base to pace the Tigers to a 6-1 lead, but Howard connected for the circuit with a man on base in the fifth and tied the score with a three-run blast in the seventh.

The Senators went on to add the leading run on a walk, a single by Aurelio Rodriguez and an error by Gates Brown on the hit, but the Tigers pulled even in the eighth with a walk, a single by Jim Price and an infield out. Norm Cash singled in the 12th and scored when Elliott Maddox doubled and Del Unser juggled the ball on the drive to right field. [The Sporting News]
