Homers by Johnny Briggs, Joe Lahoud and Dave May accounted for seven of the Brewers' runs in an 8-3 victory over the Tigers. Briggs smashed his drive with two men on base in the first inning, while clouts by Lahoud in the third and May in the sixth each came with one aboard.

The Brewers' other run counted in the fifth on a double by Ron Theobald and single by George Scott. Al Kaline and Norm Cash homered for the Tigers. [The Sporting News]
