Although allowing only two hits in seven innings, Bert Blyleven was the loser in a duel with Tom Timmerman when the Tigers defeated the Twins, 3-0. Blyleven gave up a single by Aurelio Rodriguez in the third but nothing more until the seventh when the Twins' righthander hit Jim Northrup with a pitch and Mickey Stanley followed with a homer.
