Frank Howard, who homered for the Tigers' first two runs in the second inning, singled in the ninth to pave the way for the counter that beat the Orioles, 3-2. Jim Northrup ran for Howard after his single and moved up on a sacrifice bunt by Bill Freehan. Dick Sharon grounded out, but Aurelio Rodriguez came through with a single to drive in the winning run.
