After a double steal produced the tying run, Johnny Briggs drove in the winning run with a triple in the seventh inning to give the Brewers a 6-5 victory over the Tigers. The Brewers started the scoring with two runs in the first on a double by Dave May and homer by George Scott. Darrell Porter homered in the second and the Brewers scored again in the third on a pass to Don Money, a stolen base, and a single by May. Willie Horton hit two solo homers for the Tigers and Bill Freehan whacked another in the seventh when the Tigers took the lead with three runs.

In the Brewers' half, Tim Johnson singled and raced to third when John Hiller, after fielding a grounder by Money, threw wildly to second in an attempted forceout. Johnson and Money then worked a double steal, Johnson scoring. Briggs followed with his triple to hand Hiller his second straight defeat at the hands of the Brewers. [The Sporting News]
