Halting a six-game losing streak, the Tigers scored in the eighth inning on Gene Michael's third hit of the game to win a 6-5 victory over the Orioles, who suffered their sixth straight setback. Mickey Lolich, who pitched the route for the Tigers, allowed only five hits, but they included a homer by Dave Duncan with two men on base and another by Paul Blair with the sacks empty.
