July 1, 1978 at Yankee Stadium
Tigers 8, Yankees 4 (43-33)
Andy Messersmith and Ken Clay were roughed up as the Tigers doubled up the Yankees in front of big crowd. Messersmith dropped to 0-3 and he gave up three runs in 1 1/3 innings when Clay took over and replicated Messersmith’s efforts. Dick Tidrow was also knocked around and while he gave up just two runs, he yielded seven hits and a walk in four innings of relief.
Gary Thomasson provided the bulk of the Yankees offense in the loss. He went two for four with a three run homer and two runs scored. Jay Johnstone went two for three with an RBI.
