After being shut out by Ron Guidry in the opener, 2-0, the Tigers broke up the nightcap with four runs in the ninth inning and defeated the Yankees, 10-6. Ron Guidry scattered six hits in his shutout. Loser Fernando Arroyo allowed only nine hits, but the Yankees scored their pair in the eighth inning on singles by Chris Chambliss and Reggie Jackson, a double by Roy White and sacrifice fly by Carlos May.

In the second game, the Tigers shattered a 6-6 tie with homers by Ron LeFlore and Rusty Staub in the ninth before adding two more runs on a single by Steve Kemp, double by Jason Thompson and single by John Wockenfuss. Kemp hit a homer earlier in the game. [The Sporting News]
