The Tigers bunched three hits with three errors for three runs in the seventh inning to gain a 6-4 victory over the Brewers, who were stopped on their six-game winning streak. The Brewers took a 2-0 lead in the first on a homer by Larry Hisle and added two runs in the sixth for a 4-3 lead before John Wockenfuss doubled in the Tigers' seventh and scored on a single by Alan Trammell.

On the wild relay to plate by Robin Yount, Trammell raced to third and scored when Ron LeFlore singled. LeFlore moved to second when his hit was fumbled by Gorman Thomas, stole third and scored when Bob McClure dropped the ball covering the plate after the reliever's pitch got away from catcher Charlie Moore.
