Capitalizing on the wildness of Andy Messersmith and Ken Clay, who walked eight batters between them in the first 2 2/3 innings, the Tigers defeated the Yankees, 8-4. Lou Whitaker drove in three runs with two singles and Rusty Staub accounted for two with a pair of doubles as the Tigers built up a 6-0 lead. Staub added his third RBI of the game with a single in the seventh. Gary Thomasson hit his first homer for the Yankees with two men on base in the eighth.
