The Tigers scored five runs in the first two innings and snapped the six-game winning streak of the Red Sox, 6-3. Consecutive singles by Mickey Stanley, Dick McAuliffe and Al Kaline produced the Tigers' initial tally. Stanley was thrown out trying for third on McAuliffe's hit, but Jim Northrup followed with a two-run homer.

Gary Peters, who had a 15-6 career record against the Tigers going into the game, was chased in the second when the Motor City crew added two runs. Les Cain was credited with his seventh straight victory, but pitched only 5 1/3 innings before giving way to Daryl Patterson. Tony Conigliaro hit a two-run homer for the Red Sox. [The Sporting News]
