Jerry Augustine, Brewers' rookie lefthander from Sacramento (Pacific Coast), gained his second straight victory, pitching the route to defeat the Tigers, 5-2. The Brewers broke a 2-2 tie with two runs in the sixth inning. Bob Sheldon singled and Robin Yount walked. George Scott grounded to Chuck Scrivener, who tried for a forceout at second, but Jerry Manuel dropped the ball, allowing Sheldon to score. After an intentional pass to Darrell Porter, Bobby Darwin singled to drive in Yount. [The Sporting News]
