A hit batsman with the bases loaded in the ninth inning gave the Tigers a 4-3 victory over the Yankees. Phil Mankowski drew a one-out walk. After a single by Mark Wagner and walk to Ron LeFlore loaded the bases, Jim Kaat replaced losing reliever Ken Clay on the mound for the Yankees. One out later, Kaat hit Steve Kemp with a 1-and-2 delivery, forcing in the Tigers' winning run.
