Backed by five double plays, Les Cain turned in the first complete game of his major league carer and pitched the Tigers to a 5-2 victory over the Twins. Kein Szotkiewicz marked the occasion by hitting his first major league homer for the Tigers. The Twins picked up their runs in the eighth inning when Leo Cardenas walked and Harmon Killebrew hit for the circuit.
