A two-out single by Ron LeFlore with the bases loaded in the 10th inning scored Lance Parrish and brought the Tigers a 5-4 victory over the White Sox. Earlier in the game, LeFiore stole his 49th and 50th bases of the season.

Eric Soderholm homered for the White Sox, while the Tigers had round-trippers by Rusty Staub and Milt May. In the 10th, Steve Kemp singled and Parrish was hit by a pitch. Tim Corcoran bunted and was safe when Jorge Orta dropped the throw, covering first. After a strikeout and a forceout at the plate, LeFlore won the game with his scoring single. [The Sporting News]
