Tue 8-1-72: Mil 7, DET 2

Detroit, MI- Bill Slayback needed seven batters to get the third out in the fourth inning, and the Milwaukee Brewers took advantage by scoring a 7-2 win over the Tigers.

Slayback (3-5) cruised through the first 11 batters, setting them down in order. But with two outs and nobody on in the fourth, the tall right-hander fell apart. He allowed, in order, two singles, three walks and another single, and by the time the dust settled, the Brewers had scored four runs.

Reliever John Hiller suffered through a second consecutive rocky outing, giving up three runs in the eighth inning. The Tigers (58-38) had crept to within 4-2 on Gates Brown's two-run homer in the sixth inning.

The Brewers enjoyed some payback after the Tigers swept them in Milwaukee in four games in the first series after the All-Star break.

The Brewers' 6-9 hitters, including starting pitcher and winner Skip Lockwood, combined for the seven team RBI.

The Tigers managed just four hits off Lockwood, who pitched a complete game.
