Two homers -- one by Ed Brinkman in the eighth inning and the other by Al Kaline in the ninth -- carried the Tigers to a 2-1 victory over the Angels. Mickey Lolich walked Ellie Rodriguez with the bases loaded in the sixth to force in the Angels' run before Frank Tanana drew the loss on his gopher pitches. [The Sporting News]
