A double by Dick McAuliffe and single by Fred Stanley in the 10th inning gave the Tigers a 3-2 victory over the Senators. Frank Howard homered in the first for the Nats, but the Tigers went ahead with two runs in the second on a single by Bill Freehan, triple by Elliott Maddox and sacrifice fly by Earl Wilson. Aurelio Rodriguez tied the score with a circuit clout in the fourth. [The Sporting News]
