A two-run homer by Brian Downing climaxed a four-run eighth inning that rallied the Angels to a 4-3 triumph over the Tigers. The Angels were behind, 3-0, when Butch Hobson led off the bottom of the eighth with a single. One out later, Rick Burleson singled, Hobson stopping at second.

Both runners advanced on pinch-hitter Fred Lynn's groundout and scored on a single by Don Baylor. After Aurelio Lopez replaced Dave Rozema on the mound for the Tigers, Downing unloaded his fourth round-tripper of the year. [The Sporting News]
