Sending 10 men to bat, the Tigers scored five runs in the ninth inning to defeat the Angels, 8-5. In the early going, Willie Horton homered for the Tigers and Leroy Stanton for the Angels, who took a 4-3 lead in the eighth when Jerry Remy doubled and Tommy Harper singled. The Tigers opened the ninth with singles by Leon Roberts and Nate Colbert to kayo Frank Tanana. Dave Sells gave up a run-scoring single by Bill Freehan and walked Gates Brown.

With Mickey Scott taking over, Colbert beat the throw home on a grounder by Ben Oglivie. Ron LeFlore forced Freehan at the plate, but Gary Sutherland came through with a two-run single and Dan Meyer drove in the Tigers' final run with another single. The best that the Angels could do in their half of the ninth was to pick up an unearned run. [The Sporting News]
