The Tigers, who had won eight straight games, were stopped on their streak by the Brewers, 6-3. Bob Coluccio homered for the Brewers in the third inning, but the Tigers broke a 1-1 tie in the fifth with a two-run double by Gates Brown. Pedro Garcia, Dave May and George Scott singled for the Brewers in the sixth to tie the score and chase Mike Strahler. The Tigers brought in southpaw John Hiller to face Darrell Porter, who bats lefthanded, but the Brewers' catcher upset the percentages by smashing a three-run homer. [The Sporting News]
