After driving in three runs with a sacrifice fly and triple, Richie Hebner doubled in the seventh inning and scored the tie-breaking tally as the Tigers defeated the Blue Jays, 7-5. John Mayberry accounted for the Jays' first two runs with a sacrifice fly and homer before Ernie Whitt knotted the count at-5-5 with a three-run smash in the seventh.

The Tigers came back in their half with Hebner's double and a single by John Wockenfuss to dissolve the deadlock. An error by Alfredo Griffin enabled the Tigers to add an insurance run before the inning ended. [The Sporting News]
