Mark Fidrych pitched the Tigers to a 2-1 victory over the Yankees, yielding but three hits in his fourth straight triumph, before 47,236. The winning run scored in the seventh inning after Reggie Jackson lost Mickey Stanley's routine fly in the lights and it went for a double. Aurelio Rodriguez followed with a run-scoring single.
