Tigers 6, White Sox 5 (40-20)
This time it was the hitters who bailed out the pitchers as the Tigers won their fifth straight contest despite needing fourteen innings to notch the win. Earl Wilson helped out his own cause with a three run homer and Don Wert belted a solo homer in the top of the fourteenth for the game winner. Bill Freehan had a team high three hits and he scored and drove in a run.
Wilson gave up four runs in seven innings before yielding to the pen. Pat Dobson came up huge with five shutout innings while John Hiller shut the White Sox out in the final two frames to improve to 5-1.
