After giving up a three-run homer in the first inning, Woodie Fryman yielded only four singles the rest of the way and pitched the Tigers to a 6-3 victory over the Yankees. Elliott Maddox and Bobby Murcer singled and Lou Piniella hit for the circuit in the Yankees' opening thrust, but Ben Oglivie and Jim Nettles came to Fryman's rescue.

Oglivie batted in a run with a double in the Tigers' half of the first and homered with two men on base in the fifth for the blow that beat Doc Medich. Nettles drove in the Tigers' other runs with a homer in the second and single in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
