The loser in the All-Star Game, Mark Fidrych returned to his brilliant rookie form for the Tigers, shutting out the Athletics, 1-0, in 11 innings for his 10th victory of the season. The shutout, which reduced Fidrych's earned run average to 1.61, was his second and the complete game was his 12th in 15 starts. The Tigers scored the run that broke up the scoreless duel when Ron LeFlore singled, Tom Veryzer sacrificed and, after an intentional pass to Rusty Staub, Willie Horton singled off Rollie Fingers.
