Scoring three runs on only one hit in the seventh inning, the Brewers defeated the Tigers, 4-3. The Brewers opened their lucky seventh with a walk to Tim Johnson and single by Von Joshua, chasing Ray Bare, who started for the Tigers.

After Steve Grilli took the mound, Don Money sacrificed and George Scott drew an intentional pass to load the bases. Darrell Porter followed with a sacrifice fly to tie the score. Joshua came home with the go-ahead run on a wild pitch. Mike Hegan walked. Bill Laxton relieved and passed Hank Aaron to load the bases before allowing the Brewers' last run on a wild pickoff throw.
