A three-run homer by Norm Cash in the eighth inning carried the Tigers to a 5-3 victory over the Athletics and handed Mudcat Grant his first defeat of the season. The A's ace reliever gave up a single by Al Kaline and a pass to Jim Northrup before Cash connected for the circuit. Denny McLain and three Tiger relievers yielded only four hits. McLain was banished from the game in the fifth inning in an argument over a call.
