Tigers 2, Red Sox 1 (42-22)
Earl Wilson got it done on the mound for the Tigers as they came back home to take on the Red Sox. He gave up one run on four hits and three walks with seven strikeouts in eight innings of work and the win pushed his record to 5-4. Pat Dobson got into trouble and gave up a pair of hits in the ninth but he struck out two and picked up his second save in as many games.
Jim Northrup played a role in both Tigers runs. He singled, doubled, drove in one and scored. Mickey Stanley singled twice and scored the other run for the Tigers.
