The Yankees, who were shut out in the first game, 3-0, came back to whitewash the Tigers, 8-0, in the second game of a twi-night doubleheader and reduced their "magic number" to two for clinching the East Division title. Dave Roberts blanked the Yankees in the opener, pitching a five-hitter. A double by Mickey Stanley and single by Mark Wagner in the second inning, a homer by Rusty Staub in the third and doubles by Chuck Scrivener and Ben Oglivie in the seventh accounted for the Tigers' tallies.
