The second shutout of the season by Milt Wilcox carried the Tigers to a 3-0 decision over the Brewers. Two of the Tigers' runs were driven in by Aurelio Rodriguez. The third baseman hit a solo homer in the second inning and RBI single in the fifth. Two Brewer errors gave the Tigers an unearned run in the sixth stanza. [The Sporting News]
