Darrell Jackson, a 22-year-old lefthander who had a nine-inning no-hitter to his credit with Orlando (Southern) this season, made his first major league start and received credit for the Twins' 5-2 victory over the Tigers. Jackson pitched 7 1/3 innings and allowed only one run in the fifth on singles by lance Parrish and Lou Whitaker around a walk.

Mike Marshall relieved and yielded another run in the ninth. Mike Cubbage and Roy Smalley each had three of the Twins' 15 hits. [The Sporting News]
