Snapping their string of 11 straight losses in Detroit going back to the 1970 season, the Brewers defeated the Tigers, 2-1. The Brewers were held to five hits, but scored once without the benefit of a safety in the first inning when Ron Theobald walked, stole second, moved to third on a passed ball and counted on a sacrifice fly by Jose Cardenal. Gates Brown provided the Tigers' tally with a homer in the fourth.
