Completing the three-game series sweep, the Tigers blanked the White Sox, 8-0, behind the six-hit pitching of Jim Slaton. Lou Whitaker had three singles and scored three runs. Rusty Staub blasted his 18th homer of the season following a single by Whitaker in the third inning. Two innings later, Steve Kemp slammed a round-tripper after a walk to Whitaker and single by Staub.
