Mickey Lolich was tagged for 10 hits, but the Tigers' veteran lefthander was able to beat the Brewers, 6-5, for only his second victory of the season against four defeats. Ed Brinkman hit two doubles and scored twice to help the Tigers take a 4-2 lead before they added two more runs in the fifth inning on a double by Bill Freehan, walk to Norm Cash, wild throw by Tim Johnson after Jim Northrup forced Cash and single by Aurelio Rodriguez. George Scott drove in three of the Brewers' runs with a single, grounder and homer. [The Sporting News]
