Yankees 5, Tigers 0  (9-3)

The Tigers suffered their worst loss of the short season and for the second straight time, they were shut out by the opposition.  Roy Oyler doubled and Don Wert and Earl Wilson both singled to account for the only Tiger hits of the game.

Wilson was knocked around for five runs in seven innings and he dropped to 2-2.  He gave up the five runs on seven hits and five walks with eight strikeouts and the big hit against him was a two run blast by Mickey Mantle.
