The Brewers swept a doubleheader from the Tigers, 5-1 and 7-5. In the first game, the Brewers trailed, 1-0, going into the seventh inning, but Cecil Cooper tied the game with a leadoff home run. After Don Money was hit by a pitch, Tiger starter Jack Billingham was relieved by John Hiller. A bunt single by Ben Oglivie, sacrifice by Sixto Lezcano and intentional walk to Sal Bando loaded the bases. Charlie Moore then delivered a two-run single to put the Brewers ahead to stay.
