The Yankees rallied for five runs in the ninth inning to defeat the Tigers, 7-6. Dalton Jones drove in three runs and Jim Price knocked in two to pace the Tigers to a 6-2 lead before the Yankees erupted.

After an error and singles by Pete Ward, Horace Clarke, Thurman Munson and Roy White accounted for the first three runs, the tying tally scored on a wild pitch. John Ellis then singled to drive in White with the winning run. [The Sporting News]
