Playing before a home-opening crowd, the Tigers suffered their seventh straight defeat, losing to the Royals, 9-6, in 11 innings. Willie Wilson tripled for his fourth hit of the game and, after a one-out intentional pass to George Brett, scored the Royals' tie-breaking run on a sacrifice fly by Willie Aikens. A double by Hal McRae and single by Pete LaCock added a pair of insurance counters.
