Running with two out, Al Kaline scored from the first base on a double by Jim Northrup in the 11th inning to bring the Tigers a 3-2 victory over the Red Sox. Mike Andrews singled and Reggie Smith homered for the Red Sox in the first. The Tigers' initial tally counted in the home half on a double by Mickey Stanley, sacrifice bunt by Dick McAuliffe and infield out by Kaline. The tying run followed in the eighth on a double by Don Wert and a pair of grounders. Kaline walked in the 11th before making his winning dash home. [The Sporting News]
