After the Tigers erupted for six runs in the third inning, Jack Billingham was able to breeze past the White Sox, 7-3, for his sixth straight victory. Singles by Mickey Stanley and Ron LeFlore around a walk to Alan Trammell loaded the bases to set the stage for the Tigers' big inning. Lou Whitaker followed with a double and Rusty Staub with a single, each driving in two runs. After two out, Aurelio Rodriguez and Stanley added run-scoring singles.
