The slump-shackled Tigers collected only four hits off Bert Blyleven and lost to the Twins, 4-0, for their 15th straight defeat. The Twins were held scoreless by Ray Bare until they broke through for two runs in the seventh inning on singles by Steve Braun and Eric Soderholm, a double by Jerry Terrell and sacrifice fly by Rod Carew. Terrell singled in the ninth and Phil Roof homered for the last two tallies. [The Sporting News]
