A homer by Ron LeFlore with two men on base in the second inning proved decisive as the Tigers defeated the Brewers, 6-3. A walk to John Wockenfuss and singles by Aurelio Rodriguez and Alan Trammell produced one run before LeFlore whacked his drive into the right-center field stands, about 430 feet from home plate. Cecil Cooper hit a two-run homer for the Brewers.
