. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Veteran star Al Kaline, who is enjoying new life as the Tigers' designated hitter, drove in a run with a two-out single in the 14th inning to beat the Brewers, 6-5. Jim Northrup, who had doubled, crossed the plate on Kaline's hit, which was the 2,877th of his career, moving him into 20th place on the all-time list. Since the start of the season, Kaline has passed Jesse Burkett, Babe Ruth and Mel Ott. The Tigers scored their first four runs on homers by Willie Horton, Bill Freehan and Norm Cash before knotting the count in the ninth on a single by Cash and double by Mickey Stanley.
