After rallying for two runs to tie the score in the ninth inning, the Tigers lost to the Orioles in the 10th, 7-6, for their 12th straight defeat, coming within one of Detroit's all-time club record. The Orioles scored six of their runs in the sixth inning, getting two each on bases-loaded singles by Brooks Robinson and Mark Belanger.

In the Tigers' rally in the ninth, Gates Brown led off with the 16th pinch-homer of his career, setting an A. L. record, and the tying tally followed on singles by Ron LeFlore, Dan Meyer and Bill Freehan. However in the 10th, Bobby Grich and Tommy Davis singled for the Orioles. After Tony Muser struck out, Grich was out at the plate on a grounder by Paul Blair, but Don Baylor doubled to drive in pinch-runner Al Bumbry. [The Sporting News]
