The Detroit Wolverines could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Juan Rodriguez into a win. Instead, the Boston Terriers prevailed, 4-2. Rodriguez threw 8.0 innings of 5-hit ball. Joe Clabaugh was the winner. Over 7 innings, he yielded 1 run on 12 hits, with 3 walks and 4 strikeouts. Layton Taylor collected save number 20.

Paul Knight, who signed a 2-year contract worth $360,000 on 02/04/1977, had a direct impact on the outcome. Knight contributed a solo home run in the top of the fifth inning to put Boston up, 2-0.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Knight said.

The Terriers improved their record to 56-54 by beating Detroit.
