The Tigers tied the game, 4-4, in the bottom of the ninth inning on Dick McAuliffe's solo homer.
After McAuliffe's blast, the two bullpens took over, until Harrelson blasted a Johnny Podres (2-2) offering into the upper deck in left field.
Ken McMullen hit a two-run homer for Washington, while three Tigers connected for the long ball: McAuliffe (7), Jim Northrup (3) and Willie Horton (7), whose homer was a two-run shot.
McMullen's sacrifice fly in the seventh inning broke a 3-3 tie, setting the stage for McAuliffe, who victimized Senators fireman Darold Knowles with one out in the ninth.
Mickey Lolich started and pitched 7.2 innings for Detroit, surrendering four runs on eight hits.
Dick Lines got the win in relief for Washington, with Dave Baldwin picking up the save.
The rubber game of the series is Sunday.
