Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's career record for runs batted in while collecting four of the Brewers' 17 hits in a 17-3 walloping of the Tigers. A single by Aaron in the third inning scored Sixto Lezcano and raised his RBI total to 2,210, one more than Ruth's mark. Aaron batted in another run with a double in the fifth. Robin Yount also had a big day at the plate with a homer and double, driving in four runs. Darrell Porter hit a homer and triple for three RBIs.

Willie Horton hit a two-run homer for the Tigers in the first inning and tied the score at 3-3 with a run-scoring single in the fifth before the Brewers exploded for five runs in their half. Don Money beat out an infield hit and scored on a double by Yount. Aaron's double and Porter's triple added two more runs. Another pair then scored on an error and triple by Pedro Garcia. Yount homered with two aboard during another five-run outburst in the seventh and Porter's homer accounted for two of the Brewers' four runs in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
