The Tigers forged in front with a three-run rally in the fourth inning, enabling Vern Ruhle to defeat the Brewers, 3-2. The Brewers scored in the second on a double by Gorman Thomas and single by Darrell Porter before Hank Aaron provided their other run in the fourth with his ninth homer of the season and 742nd of his career.

The Tigers began their comeback against Jim Colborn by loading the bases in the home half on walks to Dan Meyer and Bill Freehan around a single by Willie Horton. Jack Pierce struck out but Leon Roberts hit a sacrifice fly, scoring Meyer. Tom Veryzer then singled, driving in Horton and Freehan to decide the outcome of the game. [The Sporting News]
