A single by Ricky Peters drove home the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning as the Tigers whitewashed the Mariners, 1-0, behind the three-hit pitching of Dan Petry. Champ Summers led off the bottom of the ninth with a walk and was replaced by pinch-runner Kirk Gibson, who stole second.

After Richie Hebner drew an intentional walk, both runners advanced on a sacrifice by Lynn Jones. The bases were loaded after an intentional pass to Lou Whitaker and Peters ended the game by lining a 1-1 pitch to left field. [The Sporting News]
