Milwaukee, WI- Joe Coleman won his 14th game, pitching 8.2 innings of 3-hit ball, and the Tigers won for the 14th time in 17 games with a 7-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers at County Stadium.
Coleman (14-7) was lifted in the ninth inning, despite having a 7-0 lead, when he walked three Brewers in the inning, loading the bases. John Hiller entered the game, surrendered a bloop single to pinch-hitter Billy Conigliaro which scored two runs, but then retired Rick Auerbach to end the game.
The Tigers (56-35) hit three home runs off Milwaukee starter Jim Lonborg. Willie Horton (8) and Mickey Stanley (6) connected back-to-back in the second inning for a 2-0 lead. Norm Cash (15) added another solo shot in the seventh inning.
Ed Brinkman's bases loaded double cleared the bases and highlighted a four-run ninth inning for Detroit.
Dick McAuliffe had two hits to continue his hot streak, which has lifted his average to a season-high .261.
