Scoring the winning run in the 10th inning, the Tigers outlasted the Blue Jays, 9-8. John Wockenfuss opened the Tigers' 10th with a single and reached second on a sacrifice by Al Cowens.

Pinch-hitter Richie Hebner walked and was replaced by pinch-runner Mark Wagner. After Lou Whitaker walked to load the bases, Lynn Jones ran for Wockenfuss and registered the decisive tally on a single by Ricky Peters. [The Sporting News]
