Blowing up in the 10th inning, Mark Fidrych loaded the bases, hit Dan Ford with a pitch and then gave up three more runs to go down to defeat as the Twins triumphed over the Tigers, 7-3. The Tigers counted their runs in the first, two scoring on a double by Rusty Staub, but the Twins came back with a two-run homer by Steve Brye in the second before tying the score in the seventh on singles by Lyman Bostock and Brye around a sacrifice and a grounder by Larry Hisle.
