Tigers 4, Angels 0 (57-32)

Denny McLain did it again. He not only helped the Tigers avoid a sweep at the hands of the Angels, but he also helped them snap a three game losing streak. McLain improved to 18-2 and he gave up just eight hits with eight strikeouts in the complete game shutout.

Al Kaline had just one hit in four at bats but it was a solo homer. Tom Matchick finished two for four and he drove in a run.
