Jim Gantner singled and doubled, scored a run and drove in two to highlight a seven-run first inning that propelled the Brewers to a 7-3 decision over the Tigers. Gantner began the Brewers' first with a single, reached third on a double by Charlie Moore and scored on a single by Cecil Cooper.

Gorman Thomas then walked and Ben Oglivie delivered a sacrifice fly. A run-scoring single by Roy Howell chased Detroit starter Milt Wilcox in favor of Aurelio Lopez, who yielded a sacrifice fly by Robin Yount. Don Money then walked and Mark Brouhard singled home Howell. Gantner climaxed the explosion with a two-run double. [The Sporting News]
