Don Money, who walked with two out in the fourth inning, scored from first base on a bloop single by Ollie Brown to enable the Brewers to win the first game of a doubleheader, 1-0, but the Tigers came back to take the second game, 5-3. With a Ball Day crowd of 41,655 on hand, Bill Parsons, Chris Short and Frank Linzy combined to hold the Tigers to two hits in the lidlifter with the victory being awarded to Linzy. Mickey Lolich suffered his fifth defeat.

The Tigers decided the nightcap in the first two innings. A single by Duke Sims, triple by Bill Freehan and single by Frank Howard produced a pair in the first. Singles by Jim Northrup and Ed Brinkman around a walk to Ike Brown loaded the bases in the second and three runs followed on a single by Aurelio Rodriguez and sacrifice fly by Sims.
