The Brewers, who collected 11 hits to give them a total of 45 in three games with the Tigers, completed the sweep of the series by posting a 6-3 victory. Ellie Rodriguez batted in two runs with a double to start the Brewer scoring in the second inning.

Dave May and George Scott each drove a run home with a double in the third and Woodie Fryman allowed another tally with a wild pitch after relieving Fred Holdsworth in his first appearance with the Tigers since being obtained from the Phillies. Johnny Briggs homered off Chuck Seelbach in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
