Milt Wilcox, who was previously 0-9 lifetime against Baltimore, not including a defeat in the 1970 World Series, fired a six-hitter in hurling the Tigers to a 5-1 victory over the Orioles. The Tigers took a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning on an RBI single by John Wockenfuss and boosted their margin to 3-0 in the sixth on a run-scoring single by Ron Jackson and sacrifice fly by Wockenfuss. The Birds' lone tally came in the sixth on a homer by Jim Dwyer.
