Joe Coleman registered his eighth victory of the season when Ed Brinkman hit a two-run triple for the Tigers in the ninth inning to beat the Brewers, 4-2. A homer by Jim Northrup in the second and a walk to Dick McAuliffe, sacrifice by Mickey Stanley and single by Aurelio Rodriguez in the seventh gave the Tigers a 2-0 lead before Pedro Garcia doubled and Don Money homered to tie the score in the eighth. Stanley singled in the ninth, Aurelio Rodriguez walked and both scored when center fielder Dave May missed an attempted shoestring catch of a low liner by Brinkman. [The Sporting News]
