. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Supporting the five-hit pitching of Jack Morris with a 16-hit attack, the Tigers defeated the Brewers, 11-2. The score was 2-2 in the seventh when the Tigers broke through for two tallies.

A walk to Alan Trammell, single by Ron LeFlore, sacrifice by Lou Whitaker and single by Steve Kemp snapped the deadlock. The Tigers dented the plate seven times in the eighth inning including homers by Lance Parrish, John Wockenfuss and Champ Summers. [The Sporting News]
