Rain stopped play with one out in the top half of the eighth inning and left the Tigers with a 4-1 victory over the White Sox in the first game of a scheduled doubleheader. The second game was postponed. The Tigers began the scoring in the first on a walk to Ron LeFlore and singles by Dan Meyer and Willie Horton. Two runs followed in the second. After a hit batsman and singles by Nate Colbert and Aurelio Rodriguez loaded the bases, Tom Veryzer and LeFlore drove in tallies with sacrifice flies.

The White Sox picked up a run off Mickey Lolich in their half of the second on a double by Deron Johnson and single by Bill Stein, but the Tigers clinched the decision in the sixth when Bill Freehan singled and scored on a double by Rodriguez. [The Sporting News]
