Mark Fidrych, the Tigers' star rookie, gained his 17th victory of the season by defeating the Indians, 5-3. Mickey Stanley started the Tigers' scoring with a two-run double in the first inning. Another run crossed the plate on an error in the seventh before Ben Oglivie provided the deciding blow, hitting a homer with a man on base. The Indians loaded the bases against Fidrych in the eighth and counted two runs on a single by Rick Manning and the final tally on a forceout by Larvell Blanks.
