Jim Holt's first homer in two seasons leading off the fifth and Bill North's RBI double later in that frame gave the Athletics just enough offense to edge the Tigers, 2-1. Oakland's Sonny Siebert and Jim Todd combined on a four-hitter, Siebert going the first five frames and picking up the victory. Singles by Ben Oglivie and Leon Roberts, plus a sacrifice fly by Aurelio Rodriguez, produced the Tigers' only run in the top of the fifth.
