Shattering one of baseball's theories to smithereens, Rusty Staub smashed a three-run homer in the eighth inning to power the Tigers to a 3-2 victory over the Yankees. With one away in the eighth, Ron LeFlore singled and stole second, but was out at third on a grounder by Mickey Stanley, who reached second on the play.
