Tigers 7 (53-45), White Sox 1 (57-42)
The Tigers salvaged a split of both their doubleheader and their four game series with the White Sox. Johnny Podres was very effective on the mound for the Tigers. He gave up only a single run on three hits and a walk with four strikeouts in seven innings of work. Mike Marshall threw two no hit innings to close out the game and he saved his tenth of the season.
Bruce Howard was knocked around for the White Sox and he fell to 3-8. He gave up five runs on five hits in three innings. Each of the two White Sox relievers left the game with a run to their credit as well.
Willie Horton had a big three run homerun in the third that capped off a five run inning. Al Kaline had two hits in a run and was the only Tiger with more then one hit.
The run for the White Sox came by the long ball. Duane Josephson hit a solo homerun in the seventh to break up a shutout by Podres.
