The Tigers made it six straight wins behind an exceptional start by Joe Sparma.  He gave up seven hits and a walk with four strikeouts in the complete game shutout and it was his first win of the season.

Three of the Tigers’ runs came via the long ball.  Willie Horton, Dick McAuliffe and Al Kaline all went yard with solo shots in the win.  Horton finished the game with two RBIs while McAuliffe drew two walks in addition to the homerun and he scored twice.
