Don Buford, who struck out in the fifth inning but reached base on a passed ball by Bill Freehan, scored what proved to be the winning run as the Orioles defeated the Tigers, 3-2. After racing to first when Freehan failed to hold the third-strike pitch thrown by Bill Slayback, Buford took third on a single by Johnny Oates and crossed the plate while the Tigers were pulling a double play on a grounder by Bobby Grich.
