After winning the first game, 2-1, on an error in the ninth inning, the Tigers piled up a pair of seven-run stanzas in the second game and walloped the Indians, 15-5, to complete the sweep of a doubleheader. In the opener, Ron LeFlore doubled to lead off the Tigers' ninth. Dan Meyer laid down a bunt and when Dave LaRoche threw wildly past third base, LeFlore came home with the winning run.
