The Tigers knocked out Catfish Hunter in the fourth inning and beat the Yankees, 8-3, to hand the millionaire righthander his third straight defeat. The victory was the Tigers' second over Hunter, who again was the target of a homer by Willie Horton. When the Tigers beat Hunter, 5-3, in his first start for the Yankees April 11, Horton smashed a two-run homer. Horton's circuit clout this time was a three-run blow in the first inning, following singles by Ron LeFlore and Gary Sutherland.
