. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The Tigers smashed five homers, including two by Richie Hebner, and trounced the Angels, 12-1. Hebner hit his first homer of the game in the fourth inning and, after a single by Kirk Gibson, Stan Papi also connected for the circuit in his first game with the Tigers after being acquired from Oklahoma City (American Association).

Having hit two homers in one inning, the Tigers did even better with three in the sixth when Lance Parrish rapped a round-tripper, Hebner hit his second homer of the game and Gibson clouted a four-bagger. [The Sporting News]
