The Athletics were stopped on their nine-game winning streak with a 6-4 loss to the Tigers. Mickey Stanley led the Tigers with two triples and a single. Stanley's first triple, singles by Tony Taylor and Al Kaline, an error by Ken Holtzman and infield out by Frank Howard netted three runs in the first inning. Singles by Kaline and Howard around an infield out added a tally in the third before Stanley accounted for the Tigers' winning margin with RBIs on a single in the fourth and triple in the sixth.

The A's scored their first three runs off Woodie Fryman, but John Hiller relieved with none out in the fifth and yielded only one run the rest of the way on a walk and singles by Deron Johnson and Jesus Alou in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
