A double by Bill Freehan on a fly ball that left fielder Carlos May misjudged in the first inning was the break that enabled the Tigers to defeat the White Sox, 5-4. After the first two Tigers struck out, Al Kaline walked and Willie Horton singled. Freehan then hit his fly, Kaline scoring, and Don Wert followed with a three-run homer. The Tigers added what proved to be the deciding marker in the sixth on a single by Kaline, a forceout by Horton and a triple by Freehan. Ken Berry homered for the White Sox.
