A three-run homer by Robin Yount with two out in the ninth inning lifted the Brewers to an 8-6 triumph over the Tigers. Yount connected on a 2-2 pitch to score Jim Gantner, who had singled, and Paul Molitor, who had been hit by a pitch. Rollie Fingers pitched the ninth chukker to register his 27th save.
