The Brewers, who snapped a string of 25 scoreless innings with a homer by Johnny Briggs, defeated the Tigers, 3-0, behind the four-hit pitching of Jim Lonborg. Joe Coleman handcuffed the Brewers until the seventh when George Scott singled and Briggs hit his homer. The other tally counted off Fred Scherman in the ninth on a double by Billy Conigliaro and single by Ellie Rodriguez. [The Sporting News]
