Allowing only two unearned runs, Milt Wilcox went all the way for the fifth time this season in pitching the Tigers to an 8-2 victory over the Mariners. A bases-loaded single by Tom Brookens in the fourth put Detroit on top, 2-1, and John Wockenfuss sewed things up in the fifth with a homer just inside the left field foul pole after a walk to Steve Kemp and infield hit by Al Cowens.
