Fred Stanley, who entered game at shortstop after the Yankees had used a pinch-hitter for Bucky Dent in the seventh inning, came to bat in the eighth and hit his first homer of the season to beat the Tigers, 6-4. A two-run triple by Phil Mankowski and homer by Rusty Staub helped the Tigers take a 4-1 lead before Chris Chambliss got one run back with a four-bagger in the sixth.
