| Coleman's bid for his 20th victory was frustrated in an otherwise meaningless game when the Red Sox defeated the Tigers, 4-1. The Tigers thus finished one-half game ahead of the Red Sox in the final East Division standings, the statistical difference being the extra game that the Tigers played in an unequal schedule that resulted because of the players' strike.
