Knocked out in the second inning, Jack Billingham was stopped on his personal nine-game winning streak when the Brewers defeated the Tigers, 9-5. Buck Martinez walked with the bases loaded to force in one of the Brewers' three runs off Billingham. Martinez later accounted for two more RBIs with a pair of singles, while Don Money and Gorman Thomas smacked homers in the Brewers' attack. The Tigers had round-trippers by Lance Parrish and Rusty Staub. [The Sporting News]
