Von Joshua opened the first inning with a single and, batting for a second time, singled again as the Brewers erupted for six runs in an 8-6 victory over the Tigers. Mike Hegan knocked in the first run with a single, another scored on Darrell Porter's grounder and Dan Thomas doubled for two more. Jim Gantner singled to produce the fifth run of the frame before Joshua's second single capped the outburst.

However, the Brewers were not on safe ground, as it turned out, until Jack Heidemann accounted for a run with a sacrifice fly in the third. Sixto Lezcano hit another sacrifice fly for an insurance marker in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
