Five unearned runs enabled the Tigers to defeat the Brewers, 6-4, as Les Cain recorded his 12th victory, high for a season in the young lefthander's career. The Tigers picked up their first tainted tally in the third inning and added four more unearned runs on three errors in the fourth. Al Kaline batted in a pair with a double. Danny Walton tripled with two men on base and Phil Roof hit a homer for the Brewers. [The Sporting News]
