A sacrifice fly by Rusty Staub enabled the Tigers to defeat the Indians, 1-0, behind the four-hit pitching of Dave Rozema. Ron LeFlore opened the Tigers' sixth by drawing a walk from Paul Reuschel. After stealing his 63rd base of the season, LeFlore advanced to third on a bunt by Lou Whitaker and scored when Staub hit a sacrifice fly for his 110th RBI.
