Catfish Hunter retired the first 17 batters in succession before settling for an eight-hitter and gained his 10th victory as the Yankees defeated the Tigers, 9-2. Roy White led the Yankees' attack, driving in five runs. The Yankees were held scoreless until they broke loose for four runs in the sixth inning, two crossing the plate on a single by White.

Their other runs followed in the seventh and included a homer by White with two men on base and a solo swat by Graig Nettles. Tom Veryzer homered for the Tigers' first hit off Hunter. Their other run counted on a double by Ron LeFlore and a pair of infield outs. [The Sporting News]
