The Tigers' acquisition of Woodie Fryman from the Phillies continued to pay dividends when the veteran lefthander pitched seven innings and allowed only one run in a 2-1 victory over the Brewers. The Tigers touched Skip Lockwood for a run in the third on singles by Dick McAuliffe, Aurelio Rodriguez and Gates Brown.

Mickey Stanley singled in the fourth, stole second and scored what proved to be the winning run on a single by Ed Brinkman. The Brewers scored off Fryman in the seventh when Mike Ferraro and Ron Theobald singled and Ellie Rodriguez grounded out. Chuck Seelbach took over the Tigers' pitching duties in thr eighth and held the Brewers scoreless. [The Sporting News]
