Milt Wilcox permitted just three hits in 8 2/3 innings as the Tigers snapped a three-game losing skein with a 1-0 blanking of the Yankees. The lone tally of the game came in the third when Lou Whitaker singled with one out, moved to second on a walk to Al Cowens and raced home on a single by Alan Trammell. [The Sporting News]
