Sparky Lyle, who leads the major leagues in saves with 35, suffered one of his rare failures in relief when the Tigers came from behind to defeat the Yankees 6-5. The Yankees scored three runs on a homer by Johnny Callison in the first inning and added two on a single by Bobby Murcer in the third.

Trailing, 5-1, the Tigers began their rally in the eighth with a run on singles by Willie Horton, Al Kaline and Duke Sims to kayo Steve Kline. Frank Howard, pinch-hitting, greeted Lyle's arrival with a run-scoring single and, after a walk, Mickey Stanley hit a sacrifice fly to make it 5-4. In the ninth, Ed Brinkman and Horton singled and Tony Taylor was safe on a bunt that the Yankees let roll. Kaline came through with a sacrifice fly to tie the score and Sims followed with a single to drive in the winning run.
