Pat Dobson gained his eighth victory of the season with the Yankees and 100th of his major league career by defeating the Tigers, 4-1. Ed Brinkman, playing for the first time against his former Detroit teammates, singled to drive in the Yankees' first run in the second inning.

Dobson protected the slim lead in his duel with Mickey Lolich until the Yankees gave him more working room with a run in the seventh on a triple by Bobby Bonds and sacrifice fly by Chris Chambliss. Two more tallies in the eighth iced the decision before the Tigers avoided a shutout with an unearned run in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
