Joe Coleman, who had lost seven straight games, was able to gain his first victory since May 19 when the Tigers erupted for four runs in the seventh inning to defeat the Orioles, 9-5. In the early going, Ken Singleton and Jim Northrup hit homers for the Orioles and Willie Horton hammered one for the Tigers.

With the score tied, 5-5, the Tigers opened the seventh with a single by Ron LeFlore. Gary Sutherland walked. After Dan Meyer grounded into a forceout, Horton singled to drive in the tie-breaking run. One out later, Mickey Stanley clinched the victory with a three-run homer. [The Sporting News]
