The Tigers, after being shut out for seven innings, rallied to defeat the Brewers, 2-1, for their eighth straight victory. George Scott homered for the Brewers' run off Joe Coleman in the second. Skip Lockwood, who started for the Brewers, was lifted in the eighth after Ed Brinkman walked and Jim Northrup singled.

Facing Eduardo Rodriguez in relief, Mickey Stanley popped up before Gates Brown singled to load the bases. Willie Horton struck out, but Tony Taylor walked to force in the tying run. In the ninth, the Tigers loaded the bases and Brown beat out an infield hit to drive in the winning run. [The Sporting News]
