The Tigers and Brewers divided a doubleheader, the Tigers winning the first game, 6-5, and the Brewers capturing the nightcap, 5-3. The Tigers trailed, 5-4, going into the bottom of the ninth inning of the opener, when Kirk Gibson led off with a bunt single and reached second on a sacrifice by Alan Trammell. Steve Kemp grounded out, but Champ Summers followed with a game-tying double. Ricky Peters ran for Summers and scored the winning run on a single by Al Cowens.

In the second contest, Reggie Cleveland, making only his second start in three years, pitched three-hit ball for 7 2/3 innings to gain credit for the victory. The Brewers picked up a second-inning run on a sacrifice fly by Sal Bando and another in the third on a sacrifice fly by Sixto Lezcano. Gorman Thomas drilled a leadoff homer in the sixth and Cecil Cooper clouted a two-run round-tripper in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
