Thursday August 28, 1980
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The first career grand slam by Champ Summers highlighted a nine-run sixth inning that lifted the Tigers to an 11-7 triumph over the Brewers. Summers' blast, which gave Detroit a 9-6 lead, came after a throwing error by Milwaukee shortstop Robin Yount had loaded the sacks with two out. Al Cowens began the rally with a round-tripper.
