A three-run rally in the ninth inning brought the Tigers a 4-3 victory over the Yankees. Rusty Staub doubled and scored the first run on an infield out and sacrifice fly by Aurelio Rodriguez. Dan Meyer and Tom Veryzer followed with singles and, after a wild pitch by Ed Figueroa, Gary Sutherland knocked them home with a single to win the game for the Tigers.
